Maple Brook Studio

You will discover an abundance of media in my studio: pen & ink, pastel, oil, Chinese brush painting, pyrography, unique gourd art, and gourd/polymer clay Forest Delights series. Nature is my inspiration. During the Spring of 2024, I began revisiting my birch paintings with a twist, a new approach that, for some pieces, incorporates my skills with Chinese brush style.

Captain Nathan Hale is famous for his alleged last words: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” At the Homestead Museum of Patriot-Hero Nathan Hale, Connecticut Landmarks engages visitors in understanding the historical and emotional commitments of individuals and families who have patriotically served their country through sacrifice, starting from the story of schoolteacher-turned-spy Nathan Hale. At the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, we are honored to continue to welcome visitors from around the world to learn about Nathan Hale and consider: where do heroes come from?
