Inspiration

What is important in Mimi's life is reflected in her art.  The color, emotions and structure of her world are all found in her paintings.

Her latest series, "Beachcombers", was influenced by the Chesapeake Bay, and her trips to shore beaches from Thailand to Nantucket.  Changes in the beaches, shore development, beachcombing for glass, rocks and fossils bring this series of paintings to life.

A visit to Haiti and a project to preserve decaying tobacco barns in southern Maryland led to two expansive sequences of paintings.
