"Creating is honesty at its rawest form. How we respond to our surroundings and interpret those ideas is the basis for all art."

| Artists & model, June 2015 |
Where did the summer go? A few months ago it stretched before me full of promise and the inspiration that comes from exploring new places. The life of the artist is a restless one and this summer was no exception.
In early June, I was invited by artist, Paul Shulenberg to paint at the historic Hawthorne Barn in Provincetown, MA. The barn was built in 1907 and is a testament to the towns rich history and the illustrious artists who painted in the barn. It was an honor and privilege to paint with such a fine group of artists and continue the legacy of Charles Hawthorne, the founder of the Cape School of Art.

| North meets South in Gloucester, MA |
From Cape Cod to Cape Ann... over 30 artists from the south of Boston enjoyed a day of plein air painting with members of the North Shore Arts Association. The weather was a bit of an issue but we had a great time painting on Rocky Neck and East Gloucester’s sparkling Smith Cove.
In early summer I returned to Nantucket for a residency and stayed at the Century House Inn which is just a few blocks from the historic town. I took my moped on the ferry and it was a great way to explore, out-of-the-way places on the island. The weather was superb while painting in town one day I met Candace Lovely, a fellow Copley artist who invited me to paint at her "lobster shack".
