Living on a farm in New York’s Hudson Valley, surrounded by forests, foothills, and open pastures, I have spent the past several years developing a creative process that brings me physically into the landscape as I work. By applying paint directly to grasses and pressing paper and canvas onto them with my hands and feet, the patterns and textures of nature are transferred onto the surface. What begins as a gesture in the field becomes a record of a moment — an imprint of wind, light, and place.

Edges was created specifically for exhibition at The Boathouse at Silver Sands in Greenport, NY where the building sits at the edge of the Peconic Bay. The series is inspired by the wetlands and shoreline grasses that inhabit this threshold between land and water. Pressings of reeds and grasses are joined with washes of color inspired by dawn, dusk, mist, and open sky, layered over abstracted contours of beaches and tidal landscapes shaped by wind and tide.

This exhibition also carries a deeply personal connection to this place. I grew up along the waters of Long Island Sound, where my love of fishing, boating, and the natural world first took root. Later, I raised my sons along those same shores, teaching them how to catch, clean, and cook the fish we brought home together. Today that shoreline tradition continues at Silver Sands, where my sons prepare the bounty of these waters into culinary treasures they serve to guests across the property.

In Edges, the shoreline becomes both subject and metaphor — a place where movement, memory, and nature converge.Echoes of Grass – This new series is about breaking free from rules and studio constraints. Using the earth as my brush, I create works that connect me intimately to nature, the universe, creation, and to my own mortality. The process freezes ephemeral motion—waves of grass—onto the surface of the paper and immortalizes their beauty. These fractals reflect the interconnectedness of all life and nature’s universal design, as seen in flowing rivers, sand dunes, and wisps of clouds.
