Every summer, I find myself irresistibly drawn to the lingering light of Cape Cod’s sunsets. I'm fortunate enough to spend my vacations on the pristine beaches of the National Seashore, where each evening, my family and I are treated to sunsets that are gloriously unique. I once read that Cape Cod's breathtaking sunsets are a gift from the moisture in the air, brought by the surrounding waters that cradle this narrow strip of land.

Now, I see this mesmerizing light wherever I travel. This collection of work is inspired by the emotions and visions evoked while watching the light slowly fade at the end of each day. My goal is to capture the fleeting glow that graces landscapes and objects, painting the sky in enchanting hues of pink, lavender, orange, violet, and blue with magical brushstrokes. Through my art, I aim to share the unique and ephemeral beauty of these moments with you.
