Drawing on the Wall, Lord Hall Gallery, Orono, Maine

In September, 2011, eight artists were invited to draw directly on the wall in the Lord Hall Gallery at the University of Maine. I worked on the wall during two weeks to complete this drawing in charcoal; making marks, rubbing, erasing, and redrawing. The surface of the wall is very different than that of paper, and presented new challenges.

Flying to New Jersey, Summer 2011

For the past few years I have been flying back and forth to New Jersey to see family, and have documented the views along the way. This summer I began a series of drawings and paintings about the journey home, and about experiencing the landscape from the air.

Public Art at 19 Union Street, Augusta, Maine




In the spring of 2011, I hung four paintings at 19 Union Street, in Augusta. They were selected as part of the Maine Percent for Art Program for the lobbies of the building that houses the Maine State Planning Office, Department of Audit, and Maine Human Rights Commission.
