Through layers of paint and pastel I consider color, structure, and texture to create contemplative moments observing the delicate relationship between humankind and the natural world. My subjects are engaged in their surroundings through acts such as swimming, climbing, studying, and walking. They may appear obscured, framed, or dwarfed by the elements, reinforcing how they are part of their environment

My work combines architectural elements with contrasting interiors. The paintings explore color, texture, and light, and the interplay between inside and outside. The architectural structure has a “conversation” with the more free-flowing, organic or ephemeral elements – the shifting patterns of light inside, or snippets of landscape glimpsed through a window or door

I have been oil painting for 27 years with a deep love of the sea. It is my specialty. Many of my paintings have been done on locations here in the States and overseas. Hanging onto my canvas amongst the rocks during forty mile an hour winds to capture a scene is memorable.
I am drawn to painting sweets for their enticing textures, shapes, and colors that seduce you with mouth-watering rewards. These iconic images are a visual feast for the eyes while eliciting nostalgic childhood memories, when life was uncomplicated. They evoke a time in my life when an Oreo or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup was the center of my universe.

I see landscape as an abstraction of shapes and forms. Planes of color that form a perspective in a spatial relationship. I paint primarily in the East End of Long Island. I am very influenced by the beauty and light of the surrounding area.

Artist and art teacher at the Art Academy of Westchester (Dobbs Ferry). I prefer oils but I often explore with other mediums such as charcoal, graphite, pastels, acrylics and ink. I also like to experiment on genre. My studio is a laboratory!
My art explores themes of the human condition, identity, and self-reflection. I paint intuitively as my work is process-oriented and I learn best through experimentation. My world is best described as colorful and rhythmic and my materials, heavy layers of oil paint and oil pastel, are active participants in my paintings
