Painting is an important part of my life. It allows me an expressive voice. It is a continuing process of learning what I can do with paint and discovering what paint can do for me.

I earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Boston Architectural College, followed by a professional career extending over 30 years with a focus on adaptive reuse of historic spaces.

I see my art as an extension of my career. Initially I painted architectural subjects which evolved into experimenting with abstract design. My inspirations include Charles Sheeler, Robert Rauschenberg and Gerhard Richter, to name a few. My work is in acrylics, experimenting with a variety of application methods from brushes to credit cards, rags to squeegees. My art has become an integral part of me. With each painting I am pushing my technical skills further. The canvas becomes an emotional expression of feeling.
