Bring the beauty of land and sea into your home, with my studio print collection!
Paintings hold memories for me, and when I look back through my archives each one unlocks those memories! I am reminded of my first big snow storm in Orient with First Snow. I thought I was well prepared, but find out for yourself below!

I was the new artist in residency at the William Steeple Davis House, in Orient LI. and excited for my first winter outside of NYC. By all accounts we were gonna get hit hard. I made sure I had supplies for the big storm, and located the snow shovel in the shed. I was all set, or so I thought!
The wind howled, and the house rattled all night. It was exciting but also a little unnerving, I was home alone in this sweet but drafty 1800's cottage.
I woke with bright sunshine streaming through the windows, a crisp brilliant blue sky, a blanket of clean white snow on the ground, and POWER. It was gorgeous!.
Until I looked out of the kitchen door window over to the shed, and saw the 5 ft wide 26 inches deep snow drift between me and the snow shovel, uh oh!.
Luckily my Macgyver skills kicked in, and I dug myself out with a dustpan and brush! So much for advanced preparation!

Where the wetlands meet the beach and the Peconic Bay. Moving from NYC to Orient, I became so aware of nature and the cycle of the seasons. Early morning fog always made for a peaceful quite and calm start to the day.
I would rise and walk a couple hundred yards to the country store to get coffee, an egg sandwich and have a chat with the old giffers. My nickname for the men /retirees who would gather early mornings at the back of the store and put the world to rights.
They seemed cautious about this female British artist on their turf, but caution quickly turned to curiosity, which turned to a mutual fond affection! It was a nice way to connect with the community as almost everyone in the village popped into the country store! fond memories of a special place.
