Good Sport: “I love sport shooting. When I was 12, my grandfather gave me a 20-gauge Beretta shotgun that I keep propped by the fireplace because it’s beautiful and reminds me of him.”
Sea Change: “For my art show this month at Stems, I challenged myself with a slightly more tangible concept of summer landscapes. I live for the season—why not paint it?”
