My work has been juried into group and solo shows along the east coast from Virginia to Maine with representation in galleries and corporate venues, gaining recognition and awards in three mediums.

Work is available on line throughout the year.  The New Jersey winter studio allows time to create larger studio work from my five months in Newcastle, Maine where I explore the many midcoast preserves and land trusts from early spring to late fall.

The goal of every painter is to capture on canvas the impression the subject had upon us, not to instruct or edify, but to let you, the viewer, feel the emotion we did when chancing upon the scene.

This journey began at the Ridgewood Art Institute in New Jersey, learning the principles of Frank Vincent DuMond, one of the most influential teacher-painters of the 20th century. Following studies in oil, I discovered the medium of pastel creating award-winning still life paintings. Wanting to work in landscape I reached out to contemporary painters taking workshops in the southwest and northeast, sharing their knowledge and love of plein air.  My medium of choice is acrylic, using the Munsell color theory providing an exciting color palette using this challenging medium.

Travel with me on this journey, sharing my interpretation of nature's gifts.  Change is constant and captured moments in time offer us reflection, hope and renewal.  No one place ever appears the same way again... each new visit allows for a new language of light and shadow.  

A shout out from Ocean Point...

Looking forward to a productive winter...check out the site, working in the studio every day...
