Men and women have been drawn to the sea for personal restoration for centuries.  Many of us hold in out hearts peaceful memories of the seashore.  My realistic depiction of New England's shorelines inspire the peace and tranquility we all associate with the beach and seek to reclaim in our everyday lives.

The world inside my paintings is a quiet, introspective place. So stop for a moment.  Fix your eyes on the smallest of details be reminded of the infinite and eternal beauty of the entire universe, and our role in in it. In Albert Einstein’s words, One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.”
