This painting moves between abstract and realism. It challenges the idea of tall ship paintings in this present time. The story behind the piece is a beautiful one about wives who sailed the high seas. Wives that accompanied their husbands on voyages were allowed to help with navigational duties. which were keeping track of log records, and navigating the ships via the constellations. There is something amazing about navigating a ship via celestial bodies.

This pieces was shown at the famous 3S Artspace in 2020

When I was eight, our school went to a field trip to Strawbery Banke. I fell in love with it then, the gardens, the crowded turn of the century houses. It was such a beautiful escape. Now I live close by and I paint such an amazing part of Portsmouth.Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in New Hampshire to be settled by Europeans, and the earliest neighborhood remaining in the present-day city of Portsmouth. It features more than 37 restored buildings built between the 17th and 19th centuries in the Colonial, Georgian and Federal style architectures. The darkest colored house is the oldest house in the group. I have a group of historical areas that I am painting, or known as historical paintings. Look out for more!
