I work using the medium of oil to capture atmospheric coastal scenes, which aim to capture a sense of space and connection to the New England region that I love.

I practice en plein air painting for smaller pieces and often use these as preparatory studies for larger paintings combined with photographs that I take while visiting, before completing the final piece in my studio.

It’s important for me to visit the location and get that feeling of what it’s about, in order to help replicate my sense of reaction back onto the canvas. This helps me to calibrate the colors I will employ to convey my frame of mind and brush movement, reflecting the rhythm or ‘pulse’ of a scene.

In addition to accessing my feeling on a place, I focus on the elements of the outdoors by capturing the seasonal hues and weather conditions which get emphasized by an unfolding impressionistic skyline, intending to heighten the mood further.
