paintings inspired by Samuel Beckett's characters

I am a native of North Carolina, USA and received my BA in Architecture from the School of Design at North Carolina State University.
I then lived and worked in New York City and Connecticut until I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2005 to pursue painting full time.

I have been painting pretty much my entire life; last year, while working on a figurative painting, one of the two figures brought Beckett’s character, “Molloy”, to mind - in his greatcoat with his crutch. Thus, the series was born, each painting with a different Beckett character or scene from his novels and plays.

My work has been exhibited in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina and New Mexico.

I have received a number of awards in juried shows such as:
The Salmagundi Club in New York City
Audubon Artists in New York City
Associated Artists of Winston-Salem Inc
The Artwell Gallery in Connecticut
Washington Art Association in Connecticut
Silvermine Guild Arts Center in Connecticut

Red Dot Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe, NM
Stables Gallery in Taos, NM
