“My plein air paintings are rooted in a deep connection to the shores of Long Island, where land meets water in an ever-changing dance of light, color, and motion. Painting outdoors allows me to engage directly with the rhythm of the coast—responding in real time to the shifting clouds, salt air, and, most importantly, the constant movement of the water. Whether it’s the gentle lapping of a bay or the crashing of ocean waves, I aim to capture the fluid energy that defines these landscapes.
Water, to me, is more than a subject—it is a presence. It represents change, reflection, and the breath of the Earth. In each brushstroke, I seek to echo the pulse of the tides and the emotional resonance of being near water. Painting en plein air becomes a form of immersion, a practice of attunement to the subtle dialogue between sky, sea, and shore. These coastal spaces are not just scenic—they are sacred, vulnerable, and alive.
Through these works, I explore both the beauty and fragility of Long Island’s coastlines, capturing fleeting moments of harmony and tension. They are a testament to my ongoing relationship with water as a source of inspiration, grounding, and creative flow.”
