“This collection of works exists in part of a larger grouping of paintings that documented a summer spent close to home, plein air painting, in Gloucester, MA. Week after week I returned to the same field, chasing color and light and attending to the exuberance of nature. I began to understand these moments as “painting mediations” that offered me solace in these difficult months. Painting through observation allowed me to delight in the tiny miracles that nature continues to offer every day, lifting my spirits and renewing my energy. May these paintings do just that for you.”
