Bio

I grew up as one of five children. We didn’t fully appreciate our artist-parents’ efforts to introduce us to painting and majestic landscapes. After all these years, I am embracing early influences shaped by geography in my paintings. I worked professionally as an illustrator behind the scenes in New York City for two decades. Since moving to the Adirondack Park in 2004, I’m conscious of being part of the continuum of the Hudson River School. My recent body of work, entitled “Stealth Towers,” has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions in upstate New York, New York City, New Mexico and Connecticut.
