About

A native New Yorker, born in Manhattan December, 1953 and raised on Staten Island; I returned to New York from the Philadelphia, PA area in 1995 to dedicate myself to painting, illustration and photography.
I have an innate understanding of "how things are put together." My observation and design skills are well-honed, I love color, drawing comes easily.

A professional graphic designer, editor, and illustrator through the mid-1990's for American university publications, advertising, and publishing - Indiana, Temple, and Lehigh Universities, Pratt Institute, Young & Rubicam Advertising, Macmillan, Jim Henson Productions are some of the places I worked for.

My intention now, standing on the shoulders of great and favorite American painter/illustrators such as: Herb Tauss, John Thompson,Neil Welliver, Ben Shahn, and Richard Miller, is to revive and to celebrate lifestyles, American or otherwise, on canvas or paper as one aspect of my work. Working in abstraction in a variety of media, as a departure from realism, balances my inclinations at the easel; as does picture book illustration. My abstracts are meant to have energy, color, and joy.

I live my life as an artist and it's a gift I don't take for granted.
Whatever direction a canvas takes me is fine by me.
