“Remember what you have seen…

As a child visiting my grandparents, I remember looking, really looking, at the paintings by my great grandfather, George de Forest Brush.
My grandmother took me to see The King and I on Broadway. I remember the intricate details of the costumes worn by Yul Brynner.
While studying art in Florence, I wove through the paths of Berenson’s Villa I Tatti.
When in Rhode Island, I like to go to the beach in Matunuck and watch the patterns of the invulnerable tide as it recedes from the shore.
Today, memory unfolds as I paint using an ancient technique while creating modern imagery that captures the beauty and excitement of the contemporary world around me.
