My passion as a painter is equally divided between landscape and still life. I work primarily in oils, and recently in watercolor as well. I studied art at Washington University for two years, then transferred to Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where I received my BFA in 1978. I received my MFA in painting in 1984 from Brooklyn College. While there, I received one of each of the two awards offered; a Painting Fellowship and Scholarship.
My two one-person exhibitions were at The Painting Center in New York and at Simons Rock College, Great Barrington, MA. In 2006, I was accepted for membership in Zeuxis, an organization of still life painters. Through this affiliation, I have participated in traveling exhibitions in galleries and museums including The Lancaster Museum of Art, Lancaster, PA; the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum, Roanoke, VA; the Broome Street Gallery, NY; The Lori Bookstein Gallery, NY; The Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Staten Island, NY; and First Street Gallery, NY.
My paintings have been exhibited in juried shows at the National Academy of Design, NY; NYU’s Annual Small Works show; The Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY; The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH; The Leighton Gallery, Blue Hill, ME, and others.
My works are in corporate collections including Texas Instruments, Bankers Trust, Forsythe, McCarther & Associates as well as the U.S. State Department.
I have attended three artists’ residencies: The Vermont Studio Center, The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and Cummington Community for the Arts. I have spent the past three summers painting on Deer Isle, Maine.
