I am a painter, photographer, and drone photographer based in New Hampshire.

My work often begins with ordinary places and familiar objects. A field, a shoreline, a road, a weathered building, a stand of trees, a small shift in light. These are not grand subjects, but they hold more than they first seem to.

I am interested in the moment when something plain becomes worth looking at. Not because it has been made dramatic, but because attention has changed it. A painting or photograph can slow that moment down. It can give the viewer enough information to recognize the place, and enough space to feel their own connection to it.

I have an MFA in creative writing, and that background shapes how I think about visual work. I see painting and photography as forms of storytelling, but not in a literal way. A strong image does not explain itself completely. It leaves room for memory, association, and the viewer’s own sense of place.

In my oil paintings, every mark becomes part of a conversation with the next one. The work develops through compromise, revision, and discovery. My photography and drone work extend that same search. The camera helps me notice what is close at hand. The drone lets me see the familiar from a new distance.

Across all of the work, I am drawn to images that feel quiet, grounded, and open-ended.
