About the Artist or Work:
I am the artist in residence for Bucks County Magazine, and have been a
resident of beautiful and historic Bucks County for 27 years. I am
inspired by the beauty all around me. I really enjoy painting historic
buildings, as well as nature scenes. The history in Bucks County is
amazing and there are so many wonderful scenes. I have painted so many
of them. The subjects to paint are endless! I am an artist who
specializes in realism.I am also known to paint in painstaking detail.
My medium is acrylic, which I enjoy painting on canvas. I also enjoy
painting in watercolor and oils.
Where do you find your inspiration?
My inspiration is found in the beauty that is everywhere in beautiful
Bucks County. I am a studio painter, but many times if the weather
cooperates, I grab my camera and head out to explore and hopefully
capture the inspiration for my next painting. When I painted the
Thompson-Neely Grist Mill, I saw the perfect opportunity to capture the
scene in the middle of a snowstorm. The result was fabulous.There was an
old chain link covered in snow hanging off the post as you entered the
scene. It was key. The snow was coming down heavy, but the fresh snow
falling onto my subject the Grist Mill, was captivating. I tromped back
in to the house later that day, covered in snow and shivering, but
happy!Favorite Restaurant or Shop in Doylestown:
Coffee and Cream
