Artist Statement:
Moving to New England was quite the change from Charleston, SC. I no longer wanted to live in the city, so we purchased some property on a small foothill in the middle of the woods of New Hampshire. This is a painting of my backyard. It started out as a practice piece as I wanted to see each stroke, each in the same direction, with a very limited palette. As I watch the sunrise peek through the forest, I realize this is home. I sit each morning on my back deck, drinking my coffee, before I wander inside to start my workday. I do love working from home during these uncertain times. I feel safe and isolated from the outside world. And, of course, I have this view. 😊
