I find inspiration in my surroundings. Color has become most important in the translation of my subject. New York City is exciting to me in all seasons. A small town native New Englander, I arrived in New York City in 1967 and was overwhelmed by the skyscrapers and masses of concrete. From the roof of my building I started painting the vastness of my adopted city. Then, I took my easel to the street, painting landmarks and storefronts, toting my canvas and brushes farther and farther into the city’s diverse neighborhoods. Later, I painted the mammoth, melancholy, elegant decaying West Village piers and the crowded lively riders on subway cars and ferries. The unique landscape of woods,
rivers, bridges, rocks and reflections in New
Hampshire inspires me in summer.
