About The Artwork
This Sailing School is out in Mattituck, NY, on the North Fork on Long Island. My very dear friends own the beach house next to it and I am fortunate enough to go there and spend time with them during the summer season. Heading out in the morning I saw these sails with the light coming through them and the blue of the water and I was in love. The figures playing in the water, reminded me of when my kids were young. I love how the bottom of the boats reflect the sand color. I had been working the day before on a plein-air piece and was frustrated with my composition. What intrigued me also about the bots was how the sails created a vertical thrust and broke up the space very abstractly. I look a lot at the work of Richard Diebenkorn, Edward Hopper and Wolf Kahn. I began this piece last summer, and finished it up in February 2016

I am a live event painter. Wedding painting has been my main focus of work for the last 8 years... I organize a weekly figure drawing session in my community, this is my playtime. I am passionately dedicated to painting. I started oil painting when was 12 years old. Painting from life or on location enables me to use all of my senses. I work quickly and intuitively, laying down a damp tone on the canvas and then create compositional indications in paint of the subject. I try to feel the land and how I am connected to it. Time of day, atmosphere, temperature, light, movement, season...all inform my paintings. This allows sensory exploration into a combination of representation and painterly abstraction. At the same time, I use illusion to visually represent what draws us in and brings our insides out. When it feels like a poem, I know it is completed. I serve on the board of directors of my Orange County Arts Council, NY.
