I paint out-of-doors and participate in tri-state juried outdoor art shows in CT, MA, and NY. Subject matter includes landscapes, seascapes including boats and lakes, still life studies and farmscapes all painted on location. In 2002 I married John J. Perotti co-owner of Lone Pine Farm, Millerton, NY a family operated dairy farm since 1913. A breeder of the finest registered Holsteins in the US, John's inspiration and hard work has motivated me to paint farmscapes realizing the genre is rapidly changing and many local farms especially dairy are disappearing. Local Millbrook, NY has inspired me to paint equestrian studies as there are many working horse farms located here. Thank you.  Joan
