There are places that reside deep within our hearts, beckoning us to return home. My cherished spots lie in New England, where my roots run deep and where I reside: well-traveled paths, shorelines I've strolled countless times, and country roads that whisper stories of times gone by. These sacred spaces beckon, offering solace, a chance to clear the clutter of everyday life, and renew the spirit. The symphony of crashing waves erasing the static of the day, or the serene quiet of a secluded road where time pauses fleetingly, captivate me. Observing how sunlight gently kisses surfaces, or shadows weave their intricate dance, compels me to pause and reflect. Through these, I strive to capture these fleeting moments with my lens, transform them into encaustic pieces. The Landscapes Series showcased below is a tribute to these encounters, a gesture to the enduring power of places that can never be forgotten.
