Artist Statement
When I first started painting en plein air in 2005, I thought of it as something I could do for a few hours each week to take a rest from the demands of being a mother to three young children. I went out each Sunday with a group of artists and loved the quiet challenge of trying to capture my surrounding in a painting. Eventually I started bringing the kids with me and found they also greatly benefited from painting in plein air beside me. That weekly pastime evolved into participating into plein air competitions from Maine to New Mexico. I paint mostly natural landscapes with acrylics or oils. I am especially interested in the way water affects the geology, shape, color and vegetation of the environment. I love the way that traveling to paint and painting to travel has become such a rewarding part of my life.
