About the Artist
Touching a brush to canvas or paper and creating an image that expresses a reality or a feeling that comes from within is a fulfilling pursuit.
Growing up in Detroit I had the chance to attend select art classes at the Detroit Institute of Arts throughout high school. Every Saturday the DIA was my playground and being surrounded by Diego Rivera murals and European masterworks instilled a reverence for painting and painters that to this day fills me with awe.
I received a BA in Fine Arts (Ceramics) and Art History from Michigan State University and worked as a studio potter for many years until my life took a sharp turn. I discovered that computers and programming fascinated me and for the next 30 years my creative outlet was designing IT solutions for the General Assembly of Maryland.
Now, retired from that career I immerse myself fully in the visual arts with paint being my expressive tool of choice.
I have exhibited with the Baltimore Watercolor Society, the Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers Society of Washington DC, the Annapolis Watercolor Club, the West River Artists, the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, the Benfield Art Gallery, the Maryland Federation of Art, the Mitchell Gallery - St John’s College, and Gallery 564.
I am a member of the Annapolis Watercolor Club, the West River Artists, and a Signature Member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society.
My wish is for you to enjoy my efforts and hopefully feel a connection, as I did, with the subject of each piece.
