Profile
I create images through my art that I find compelling, so that I may share them with others. I’m inspired by nature and the bountiful beauty that surrounds us. I look for patterns, colors, and shapes to convey a feeling or a sense of place. My photography also provides inspiration and serves as reference for my paintings.

Experience
I have been making art for over 50 years. I am a painter and printmaker born and raised in Massachusetts. I studied Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, and Printmaking at Boston University, and Graphic Design and Illustration at U.C.Berkeley Extension in San Francisco. My work is in numerous private collections and has been featured in national publications and solo and group shows in Amesbury, Boston, Chelmsford, Concord, Lexington, Littleton, Lowell, Watertown, and New York City.

Education
Boston University, Boston MA, 1974-1976, 1978-1980
University of California Berkeley, San Francisco Extension, 1985-1988
