My paintings capture the subtle beauty of quiet places.

I am inspired daily by the rural landscape and ever changing seasons of Wisconsin. I love the gentle hills, forests, farm fields, and lake and rivers of the Midwest.

I paint with watercolor and soft pastels. For landscapes, I typically work from the photographs and sketches I make on site. I prefer to work in the studio for the majority of the painting, although I do often start it outdoors. I paint flowers and still life paintings from life, in my studio. I like clean, pure, vibrant color, and I’m always trying to capture the light.
