Oasis Studio:
I founded (1982) and directed (1982-1988) Oasis Studio. Oasis Studio was a non-profit architectural studio in Boston dedicated to facilitating the exchange of ideas in the fields of architecture and art. During my tenure the studio published “Touchstone”, a bi-monthly magazine distributed through the Boston Society of Architect’s Bookstore. The studio sponsored a spring and fall lectures series. It participated in Boston’s First Night creating “Boston 2076", “The Oracle” an “The Peace Park” in successive years. It initiated a publicly funded series of built projects in forgotten spaces entitled “The Boston Projects”. The studio also hosted annual exhibits of member’s work.

Artist Statement:
I began to paint in June of 2002. I have been influenced by my grandfather, Richard F. Bartlett (a commercial and fine artist) who was in turn influenced by Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent.
My training is in the field of architecture and I am currently a freelance designer for Boston architectural firms. My interest in the arts led me to establish and direct “Oasis Studio”, an experimental after hours studio in the North End from 1982 - 1988. In 2009 I founded Towle Hill Studio to continue my collaboration with artists and their interactions with the public. My work in these studios explores the crossover possibilities between architecture and the arts.
Light, shadows, color, sense of place, and constructed forms in nature are some of the common themes that I explore in both the worlds of architecture and painting,
