Contemporary and Modern Coastal Art

I love creating sunny artworks that can be hung in a modern cottage or lovely little home. My artworks reflect my love of color, line and anything coastal . I adore and am influenced by patterns, color, nature, texture, and living a carefree life. I am influenced by my time spent on the Lake Erie islands during the summer months.

I am painting every day a painting for July, creating a collection of small acrylic paintings in my sketchbook that documents my summer on a coastal island in the middle of Lake Erie and in my charming Ohio hometown.
