Stepping Stones Painting

I am an artist based in East Hampton, New York, inspired by the natural rhythms and coastal landscape of the East End of Long Island. My primary body of work consists of abstract acrylic paintings on canvas, where I explore color, pattern, and organic form through layered, calming compositions. Pattern and repetition have become increasingly central to my abstract collections, reflecting a growing interest in structure, rhythm, and thoughtful design. These elements create visual spaces that feel contemplative and grounding, balancing intuitive mark-making with intentional composition. Alongside my painting practice, I am beginning to expand my work through botanical watercolor illustrations. This emerging body of work allows my ideas around pattern and nature to translate into a more illustrative, design-oriented format, with future plans for prints and artful products for everyday living. Rooted in place and guided by curiosity, my work reflects a coastal sensibility—quiet, layered, and evolving—inviting viewers to slow down and connect with the natural world in both abstract and representational ways.
