Wrigley building Painting

I am currently based in Texas and make large colorful oil paintings. My work centers on semi-abstract images of light on objects, interiors, and landscape spaces. I use the shapes of light as part of my geometric compositions. I aim to capture a mood of isolation, a feeling of calm, or other worldly or psychological presence within the spaces I paint. I earned a B.F.A. in painting at Rhode Island School of Design; a B.A. in art from Simmons University, and an art teaching certificate from Central CT State University. I taught art in public schools for about ten years, then began teaching private art lessons at an artist's co-op in Illinois, and guitar lessons through my home based business, now known as Denton County Guitar Studio. I am a member of VAST, Visual arts society of TX, and VAL, Visual art league of Lewisville. I have exhibited my paintings in over a hundred galleries, group shows and street fairs in Connecticut, Mass., New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and most recently, in Denton and Lewisville, TX. Recent art fairs include "The Other Art Fair, Dallas", and "Art Spectrum, Miami". My work is in several online collections here on Saatchiart. Collectors of my work reside in PA, OK, CA, MD, NY, WA, NC, MD, MA, IL, RI, WI, MI, FL, Sweden, AU, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, and South Korea. Public collections include Wausau Hospital in Wausau, WI, and Southern CT State U., in Connecticut. My work is often on view at the MCL Grand Theater Gallery in Lewisville, TX.
