Swan Rising Painting

I grew up in East Norwalk, Connecticut, and have lived in Alabama for over fifty years, six years of it in the Birmingham area and the rest in the southeast corner of the state. Diverse life experiences and constant reading have provided endless imaginative fuel for both written and visual creativity. Activities as diverse as criminal defense work, service as a judge, sailing, fishing and travel have all contributed to a growing awareness of the beauty and complexity of human existence. I see my work as an artist as a constantly changing re-imagining of all that has gone before.
