Artist Statement

There is no other place on earth I’d rather be than in Vermont. The optimism, the dedication to improving the planet and the widespread resourcefulness, all give me the opportunity to believe in the future and the opportunity to connect my artwork to the wider community. I love the landscape that the urban and rural communities give to our state’s unique character. And I love being an artist, creating uplifting scenes that honor the community-building so deeply rooted around me.
