"Like many people in the 70's, my parents had a HUGE sofa painting by Paul Defletsen. I'd stare at that painting of a covered bridge, huge old tree and gorgeous autumn leaves and just drift off into daydreams as a child. When I got older, I realized I was surrounded by all the scenes I admired - The Litchfield Hills and all of New England - just the most beautiful place on earth. I love to drive off spontaneously and explore back roads and small towns in all seasons, always looking to capture a new "painting". I love my heritage here. I hope it shows. I just want to share it and let other people see all the beauty I see."
