Artist’s Statement: 

I am a writer and artist with stories to tell and a lot of enjoyable paintings to show. My artwork spans decades, from the day my cousin gave me my first tubes of oil colors and brushes when I was fifteen, through my college art courses, to my current-day canvases.

​

This artwork reflects both what I learned from master painters whom I studied in my B.A. Art History courses at William Paterson University, and while developing my own unique styles.

​

I have displayed work in venues from outdoor shows in my home town of Morristown and the city of Newark, to local taverns and restaurants. I have painted commissioned work for private clients and family members.

​

College Education:

A.A.S. degree in Computer Science from County College of Morris, 1978

Worked towards a B.A. degree at William Patterson 1978-1980
