I am a professional acrylic painter inspired by the fields, equipment, and daily work of Southern New Jersey’s farming community. My realistic paintings honor the beauty of agriculture, country living, and the farmers whose hard work and dedication often go unseen.

I see many similarities between farmers and artists. Both work long hours, persist through uncertainty, and are often misunderstood by the world around them. They notice patterns, respond to changing conditions, and create something deeply needed: food and art. Without farmers and artists, life would be a much hungrier and duller place.

The Salem County Farmlands Calendar is an annually curated collection of my photographs. I have donated over $6,000 to the three Future Farmers of America Chapters of Salem County which has helped students to attend State and National Conventions.
