I painted this contemporary fauve artwork of the view from Florence Griswold Museum, the site where so many Impressionist painters have captured before me. Never having seen an autumn painting from there before, I took advantage of the fall colors to create this scene that is at once vibrant and exciting, but calm and thoughtful.

I’ve painted my whole life, but my artwork really took off when I started painting ideas, instead of people, places, or things. I love to start with an abstract idea, and then conceptually represent it. The first idea I painted was “confidence,” followed by summing up the essence of “July.” After that, I was hooked. I feel energized when I paint in this fresh and thoughtful way, and the result is very creative, authentic, and engaging. Because it’s so content driven, people who have purchased my work say it communicates a feeling of fullness, vibrance, satisfaction, and joy.
