It was an awesome Summer with lots of work sold here and in New Jersey. Looking forward to the new
projects I have lined up for the next few months.
About the artist
My mission is to create paintings that exude joy and hope, and bring peace and happiness to my clients. I grew up in the beach town of Point Lookout, Long Island, where I took my first oil painting class at 13. I studied art and psychology at Boston College, and after obtaining my Masters Degree I worked with clients using art therapy.
My best memories as a child revolved around spending days on the beach. The ocean, beaches and water continue to be a source of joy and inspiration in my work.
My work is shown in galleries throughout New Jersey, Cape Cod, Boston, and Massachusett’s South Shore. I work with many decorators, charities, and clients on private commissions. I’ve been featured in multiple publications over the years such as Open House Magazine, South Shore Living Magazine, Boston Magazine.
My latest top selling paintings are “Beach Peeps” which will be available to purchase here online, as well as my newest series called “Beach Bums”.
