A BREATH OF SALT AIR 

There is something so intriguing about a path. Catch a glimpse of a twisting trail and we are drawn in. A path in a painting can provide us with a starting point to access the painting. Our eye can literally follow where the diagonal takes us. In the painting above...

I've been very spotty about my "Breath of Salt Air" messages here. It has taken longer than expected to wind down and shift gears from the intensity of the summer season. As a working artist I need time and space to explore the internal and recalibrate where I'm going...

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum continues the tradition of the "725" Art Show and Sale in an exhibition curated by Michael A. Butler. "725" refers to the original telephone exchange that all Sag Harbor households had in the days before cell phones. If you haven't been...

Hi Everyone! Summer has started at a quick pace so we all need a spot to take a moment and reset our our pace, I know I do. I wanted to share one of my tranquil oil paintings that was featured in the Memorial Day issue of Beach Magazine.  This is truly one of my...
