Bio
 
 

  I really like barns and I really like the moon. Most of my life I've wanted to live in a barn. Much of my life I've paid attention to the comings and goings of the moon.

    I started painting houses and barns when I moved to Vemont. I first lived in a white farmhouse with a red barn. When I started painting houses I felt the paintings needed color. Most of the houses in Vemont are white, most of the people are white and the ground is white a good part of the year. I needed some color!! When I painted an orange house with red trim , it took off from the earth and all of them have stayed in the sky ever since!

   I paint with oil sticks which are like giant crayons, but are made of oil paint. Like oil paint used with a brush, it dries hard and this allows me to paint many layers. I work to create rich color and textures and compelling color combinations.
