I am deeply influenced by New England-camping in the deep fog banks on the coast of Maine, raising sheep on a pastoral hillside in Massachusetts, hiking the Green Mountains in Vermont, or raising honeybees in my childhood fields of Connecticut. This is evident in the textures and colors of my paintings, photographs, sculpture and installations. My materials- honey, wax, wool, viscera- come from the farms that surround me and are chosen not only for their aesthetic qualities but also their low impact on the environment.
