Oil Paintings

Commissioned landscapes painted en plein air on Nantucket, alongside portrait and narrative work on canvas.

An overturned white dinghy resting in beach grass above calm blue water, with wild pink roses in bloom on the right and a low green shoreline along the horizon.
Nantucket Splendor
A red kayak pulled up on a wide sandy beach beside a weathered fence post, under a pale blue sky with a distant green headland across the water.
Castaway
Portrait of a cream-coloured labradoodle standing and turning toward the viewer, painted against a deep teal background.
Trevor
A muted grey railway platform where children in winter coats carry suitcases beside a long passenger train receding into the distance.
Bear Witness
A weathered post-and-rail fence draped in wild roses along a sandy path beside a broad sunlit tidal pond, under a wide cloud-streaked sky.
Madaket
A quiet shoreline where a shallow tidal channel curves between a sandy beach and low green dunes beneath a soft blue sky.
Mr. Rogers’ Beach
A young child in a blue shirt lying with arms outstretched across a deep red couch, painted from directly above.

Flora
A dense collage of torn photographs layering forest canopy, botanical line drawings, cut flowers, a peacock feather, a child’s face and a single blue eye.
Eye Spy
