Luckily I grew up on Cape Ann where the light changes from season to season and from minute to minute. A November morning with lavender light on a glassy sea can easily turn into a torrid storm in only moments. As an en plein air painter I've retrieved my easel and pallet out of several marshes.

These days I wander around the coastline with my very beat up camera partially held together with tape. My brother takes me along for a boat ride now and again and from there I can get images I could never see from land. Once in the studio these images become the bones of my watercolors, where often the white of a light house or the sails of a schooner are the pink and orange light of sunset. I have become a watercolor artist and it is my mission to show you what I see
