About The Artist
I find that the process of making art is also my definition and philosophy for living: Start every project with “ beginner’s mind” and don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself. As is true with so much in life, fear is the enemy. My portfolio includes Landscape oils, Monotypes and Giclee prints.While I spent the first 15 years of my career painting monotypes, I dreamed of the freedom to paint outside in the Plein Air mode. Plein Air or “direct Painting” allows for the rapid growth that comes from an immediate engagement with nature. I leave my studio in September and October, to go outside and paint Martha’s Vineyard. The experience is nothing short of intoxicating! I have included in this site a body of work that I began in the mid 1990's and will surprise those of you who have known me all these years and not seen this side of my work. These geometric abstracts are my way of surviving our low light winters and are a reprieve from the hectic summer season. I think of this work as a way to let the ‘soil’ lay fallow before farming my landscape imagery again in the Spring. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many wonderful clients I have. Over many years you have shared with me your intimate love of art and of life through collecting art. It is a great inspiration to me!

I have been painting professionally since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1981 and painting as a student since the first grade. I consider myself to be both things and often paint for the simple joy of creating with no other agenda for the finished artwork.
