Bio:  Both sides of my family were from Eastham, and I grew up spending summers and holidays here on the Cape. I was surrounded by art as a child because almost all of my family are artists. For many years I worked as an art teacher in public school in Virginia and now live in Hyannis.  My work is about developing and exploring mythic stories using symbolic imagery, and I am interested in a visual language that is psychological and personal, however, I believe these images are universal and can be interpreted by others in ways that are meaningful. The subjects of these paintings could be from a moment in passing, or inspired by lyrics from music, or even spiritual concepts and awareness.
