Artist Statement
I’m a Provincetown-based painter working primarily in acrylic, with some oil and mixed media. Living on the Outer Cape has deeply shaped my work—the light, the architecture, and the quiet rhythm of coastal life continually influence what I choose to paint. I’m drawn to everyday subjects like local streets, buildings, and still lifes, focusing on color and atmosphere to capture not just how things look, but how they feel. My Ducky series brings in a more playful side, using humor and character while still exploring composition and color. Across all of my work, I’m interested in creating something familiar but personal—paintings that reflect where I live and invite others to connect with those moments in their own way.
