I am an intuitive, abstract artist from NYC by way of many years in Seattle and San Francisco. Before leaving for the West Coast, I began to draw at The Art Students League in their figure drawing sessions. That led to work as a production artist for Milton Glaser, which opened many design doors in Seattle. I was greatly influenced by my urban upbringing, access to museums and galleries and the undeniable chaos of the times. I am grateful for it all.

Since moving to NC in 2010, and retiring from my profession as an education specialist in the field of vision impairment, I have renewed my commitment to a regular practice of creative pursuits in art and performance. My paintings can currently be seen in group shows in Black Mountain, Fairview, and Spartanburg.
