Natural Science Illustration
After my two year certificate program at the Rhode Island School of Design for natural science illustration,
I began to collect sea life found washed up on the shore and other creatures that had perished on roadsides or woods.
Several solo exhibitions featured these works at:
Water's Edge - Audubon Society of Bristol, RI
Water's Edge II - Audubon Society of Greenwich, CT
Water's Edge - Lifestyle Designs Showroom, Newport, RI
Tidal Pool - Lifestyle Designs Showroom, Newport, RI
These images and others are available as giclee prints on paper found on the gift item page
Starfish in Shell Spider Crab
Tidal Pool Series
I spent several years along the rocky coast of New England working outdoors on painting studies in oil, watercolor or acrylic to create two series of work. I was fascinated by the variety of compositional and colorful variations within the tidal pools found on the water's edge and brought the studies into my studio in order to paint on a larger format.
The New England Rock Series, shown below, were my first series of paintings depicting the variety of rocks and sea life compositions. These paintings are on panels at 2' x 2' and 4' x 4' mixed medium and several in oil.
I held two major solo exhibitions at:
Water's Edge - Audubon Society of Bristol, RI
Water's Edge - Audubon Greenwich, CT
Other showings include:
White Rice - Art's Walk, Hudson, NY
Water's Edge - Lifestyle Designs Showroom, Newport, RI
Tidal Pool - Lifestyle Designs Showroom, Newport, RI
The Tidal Pool series is a continuation of the New England Rock Series on canvas at 2' x 2' in acrylic
New England Rock Series
The New England Rock and Tidal Pool Series are an ongoing works in progress. I have selected several from
these series for viewing and a select few are now available as giclee prints on canvas located on the
gift item page.
