Artist's Statement
I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey.
My appreciation for the beauty of nature
is a frequent subject of my paintings but
I also like to study ordinary objects and
interior scenes. My paintings are a blend
of the contemporary and traditional. I am
open to all media and subject matter and have
been influenced by artists from many cultures.
As a realistic painter, I strive to represent my
subjects faithfully and find the challenge of
doing so both energizing and humbling.
