Artist Statement

My passion for color and art originated during the early 1970s while growing up in the scenic Mid-Hudson Valley of upstate New York. Immersed in the beauty of nature, I spent my childhood exploring and interacting with the world around me.

In 1997, I earned my B.F.A. in painting and embarked on a diverse creative journey. Over the years, I have worked as a Theatrical Scenic Artist, Gallerist, and Museum Manager. Today, my primary focus is on my artwork, and I proudly serve as an exhibiting member of the Rocky Neck Arts Colony and North Shore Art Association in Gloucester, MA, as well as the Newburyport Arts Association in Newburyport, MA.

The central theme that continuously fuels my artistic expression revolves around the concept of travel and its profound influence on my perception of the world, diverse cultures, and historical narratives. Whether through the vibrant strokes of oil paint or the intricate layers of mixed media, I strive to encapsulate my ideas and evoke emotion in the viewer.

My creations have found resonance in both commercial and private art collections, a testament to the universal language of art that transcends boundaries.
