Three person exhibition at the Principle Gallery Alexandria
This March I will be exhibiting several new paintings with Larry Preston and Jorge Alberto. The exhibition is of still-life paintings with our own individual and unique take on this fantastic genre.
I have some really fun paintings that I’ve been working on in the last few months, and I am so excited to share them with you.
All of my paintings explore the wonder of every day life, my love of books and rituals, such as drinking tea in the morning, sketching, and of course reading.
Reading is such a big part of my life, and I love how books introduce new worlds toof experience through poetry, literature, and a good design or gardening book. And of course artist monographs hold a special place in my daily lifen.
Feel free to reach out to me for more details, and I’m happy to forward any inquiries on to the gallery.
Exhibition opening is at 6:0:30 PM on Friday, March 18, 2022. Here in Old Town Alexandria at the Principle Gallery.
Thank you for your support of my work!

Elevating everyday moments into fine art
-this is my mantra. I am drawn to objects of beauty that still have the impression of the craftsman’s hand. I value all hand-cultivated arts and strive to incorporate these items into my paintings.
A little about me:
I am an artist and teacher living in Alexandria, VA.
I am someone who seeks clarity of ideas. I am drawn to color, pattern, and detail. In my artwork, I am fascinated with incorporating beauty observed in my surroundings, always striving to celebrate the simple moments of life.
It is with much gratitude that I find myself an artist today. This was not always the case. I went to school to be an architect, and then practiced for nine years.
On the eve of turning 35, I left the architectural profession to pursue being an artist full-time. I parlayed the strong observational and sketching skills gained from being an architect towards mastering representational oil painting. By establishing a self-directed study plan, I gained proficiency by attending art classes and workshops, and by copying masterpieces at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
Now I work and teach in my home studio and garden, creating paintings that are firmly rooted in celebrating the seasons of the year.
