I'm a realist painter living in the Berkshires. My work utilizes techniques employed by painters from the High Renaissance to modern masters.

References from varied sources (classical paintings, sculptures, erotica, tattoos, etc.), inhabit shared spaces offering new meanings in their juxtapositions. I am naturally drawn to darker imagery and I allow my imagination the full freedom to engage in a visual dialogue to expand my own sphere.
