INSPIRATION
THERE ARE MANY THINGS WHICH CAN INSPIRE ONE TO BECOME AN ARTIST. IN MY CASE, INSPIRATION STARTED AT A VERY EARLY AGE WHILE WATCHING MY MOTHER, LINDA JANE, PAINT A PORTRAIT. IN MY PRE-TEENS YEARS, I SPENT MY SUMMERS AT A FAMILY MEMBER'S HORSE BARN WHERE I BEGAN TO DRAW IMAGES OF THE HORSE. MY FAMILY THEN RELOCATED TO A SEASIDE TOWN WITH A LANDSCAPE VARIETY OF MARSHES, BEACHES, FARM FIELDS AND SUNSETS. IT WAS DURING THESE YEARS THAT MY INTEREST IN PURSUING AN ARTISTIC LIFE BEGAN TO GROW.

ARTIST AT WORK
Nature has given me a lifetime of beautiful subjects to paint. Whether hiking on rugged trails in the Colorado Rockies or sitting along the cliffs of the New England coast, I have truly enjoyed my painting adventures. I pack my bag with a camera and art supplies just in case there's something amazing taking place such as an expanding rainbow, ocean drama of crashing waves or while watching a butterfly pump it's wings before taking flight. IN THE STUDIO
Many of my plein air paintings, sketches, watercolor studies and photography make their way back into the studio room as a source for reference while creating larger scale paintings.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING
BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION I fell in love with botanical illustration while residing in an old gardener's cottage in the US Virgin Islands. Years later, I took a two year Natural Science Illustration Certificate program at the Rhode Island School of Design, focusing on the illustration of flowering plants.

MY JOURNEY AS A FINE ARTIST
|
There is no greater gift of wealth and beauty then the natural world on our home planet. It is filled with amazing environments to enjoy. I love working outdoors and exploring the many things associated with the landscape. From mountains to seascapes, rose garden to forest, I enjoy taking photographs, hiking the trails, setting up an easel to paint or to just watch waves come into shore. My Blog will share with you any art events and exhibitions of my work, my photography, journaling and jewelry design. You may also find my work and jewelry designs available on Etsy @ StileGalleryArt or on my other website @ www.stilegalleryshop.com
