I was born and raised on the eastern end of Long Island and have always loved the water, beaches, sky and light of my home. I am self taught and have developed a passion for painting seascapes. I attempt to capture the true light of the water and sky with the help of my husband of twenty three years. He is a commercial fisherman who has spent many years on the sea. He helps me understand and feel the true movements of the water, not how one expects it to be but how it truly is, chaotic, moody, calm, dangerous, beautiful and dark and so compelling. I enjoy working Plein Aire with my old Tracker on the beach. Out there I get lost in the moment. There is no sense of time just me and the sea. I hope the viewer likes my work. This is my life and my art.
