My art journey…

My love for bustling towns and storybook villages began in childhood, turning the pages of The Berenstein Bears and Richard Scarry’s colorful books. As a child, I loved designing my own towns, summer camps, and school campuses. Yet at the same time, I was intimidated to draw or paint, as I compared my work to that of my family members who drew and painted in realism and hyper-realism. I can recall believing I wasn’t artistic. I also noticed artists didn’t get much support in our community as I watched my mother’s short-lived art career, so the desire never bloomed.

Later, in my twenties, I fell in love with Charles Wysocki’s enchanting Americana villages. That’s when a love and longing for New England life began to grow inside me.

Back then, painting felt impossible, like a dream reserved for someone else. Like Grandma Moses, my prime years were spent raising a family. I discovered my love for writing at 38 and published my first book soon after. Decades later, during Covid, life miraculously green-lit a move to Blue Hill, Maine—a coastal town brimming with creatives of every type —and, of course, the desire to paint emerged.

My kids were raised, I was taking a break from writing, and it was the perfect time to explore. I had overcome my doubts in my abilities and was okay with painting for myself. Surrounded by the wild beauty of forests and the Atlantic, I picked up a brush and painted Starlit Hollow, my first New England village. I had no intention of painting professionally, but after a friend came over and saw my paintings, she insisted on buying a piece. It was her encouragement that gave me the strength to enter my first art festival.

I painted 50 paintings from May to August. I wasn’t just ready for one art show that fall, but two.

I sold over half of my inventory at those two festivals alone. Now, I have paintings hanging in North and South America, and Europe, and a budding career that exploded before I could even catch my breath.

Note: At the moment, I am not accepting commissions.
