Profile
I create images that I find compelling, so that I may share them with others through my art. I take inspiration from nature and the bountiful beauty that surrounds us. In nature, I look for patterns, colors, and shapes to convey a feeling or sense of space. My photography also provides inspiration and serves as reference for my paintings.

Experience
I am a painter, born and raised in Massachusetts. I studied Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking at Boston University, and Graphic Design and Illustration at U.C.Berkeley Extension in San Francisco. I have been making art for over 50 years. My work is in numerous private collections and has been featured in national publications and group shows in Amesbury, Boston, Chelmsford, Concord, Lowell, and New York City. While working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer in the mid-1990s, I began a career with the National Park Service, continuing to express myself creatively by producing posters, flyers, collages, exhibits, and photographing nature. After retiring, I returned to producing my art full-time.
