Past
Residences and their Impact on my work:
1992 - Present Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Bucolic landscapes, Strong Revolutionary history,
traditional architecture, and the culmination of my
life experiences creating the inspiration to paint
again. Renewed interest in the sea and new-found
interest in the Cape-Ann School generates multiple
trips to the area that continue today.
1989 - 1992 Charleston, South Carolina.
Architecture, Southern Culture, economic diversity
and it's portrayal in art. Distance from family
creates longing to return to roots.
1973 - 1989 Hyannis, Cape Cod Massachusetts
Life revolves around the sea, marshes and meadows.
Landscape photography interest developed.
1964 - 1973 Grafton, Massachusetts
Grandfathers farm and my affection for barns, walks
with Bernard, Revolutionary war family heritage
(Sons of the Revolution).
1963 - 1964 Born Biloxi, Mississippi
