Artist Statement: The Storm We Weathered Series

The Storm We Weathered.” is a collection of oil paintings created in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic that explores themes of self-reflection, the human condition, community and identity. As the world begins to slowly open up again, the works explore a yearning to connect with each other after living in an extended period of isolation since the start of 2020. The overall sentiment remains and the paintings are accessible and visually calming, yet still chaotic and slightly out of reach.

Reflecting on a New Season

Reflecting on a New Season

It’s nearly summer and here in the lower Hudson Valley where I work there is definitely a shift in energy as I personally start to shed some of the physical and emotional layers of the last year. Even if it looks different I sense a fresh, rejuvenating spirit that recalls the energy of life at the onset of the new season.
