Artist | Farmer | Illustrator

As an artist and a farmer (Blue Ledge Farm goat dairy, stablished in 2000) in Addison County, Vermont, I live surrounded by my muses–be it the landscape, animals, farms or food, I am moved and inspired by what is around me. I am fascinated by the lay of the land, by the way that light and human experience can create beautiful patterns upon the land, by the bond that we have with our livestock, who are both our friends and our livelihood. We are all species existing in a place, in a moment in time, and art keeps me grounded and fully aware in the present. Though my time is stretched thin, and time spent painting is a precious gift, I think being a farmer gives me a unique perspective as an artist, almost an “insider’s view” on all things farm, as I live and breathe it every day. When I do sit down to paint, my life and my observations reduce down to a pure essence, and it pours onto the surface. I hope my love for this life comes through in my work and allows the viewer to share in a moment of awe in life’s everyday moments.
