I try to employ a kind of surrealism that draws upon the raw intimacy of the human body as well as the stubbornness of nature, while hopefully maintaining a sense of humor and whimsy. I experiment with different mediums. Lately I’ve been using light weight, quick dry spackle mixed with plaster of paris and acrylic paint to create sculptural paintings. I also like to incorporate architectural salvage, wood, and religious emblems into my work.

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.
