Magic Clams & Fishbowls While my work has undergone various changes of style and medium over the years, certain forms have continued to interest me.

I fell in love with moths as a child, finding them like magical messengers drawn to our light from another realm, especially the ones that appeared suddenly out of complete darkness with their hidden flashes of color. The luna is perhaps the most astonishing, with its otherworldly hue, brief life span and rare appearances. Over the last two years I raised lunas inside my studio’s bay window in order to capture something of their mysterious poetry.

I painted this series while I was living in Belgium. They were painted “on site” inside my kitchen apartment, – a long narrow corridor ending in a high window beneath which stood a small breakfast table with a two-burner stove. Immediately in front of the table was an enormous footed bathtub.

This selection of prints is from a series of watercolors depicting greenhouse interiors that were created over a period of about thirteen years. Each piece was painted from direct observation inside greenhouses in New England and Belgium; some taking months and others years to complete.
