As an artist, I try to convey to others my deep appreciation of nature. My paintings allow me to explore the variety and richness of color in the world around us. After having worked in a representational manner for many years, I am now creating purely abstract images in the many varied and exuberant colors found in nature. I’m also exploring collage more fully, experimenting with media from crayon to magazine cutouts and maps.
After earning B.F.A. and M.Ed. degrees from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, I spent nearly two decades teaching art in Philadelphia. I’ve participated in dozens of local juried exhibitions, including Art of the State: Pennsylvania (2005 and 2003) at the State Museum in Harrisburg, the Philadelphia Sketch Club (in 2006 earning a merit award), the American College in Bryn Mawr, Pa, and Philadelphia’s City Hall.
