Artist Statement:
I enjoy the liberating
experience of being an artist.
There are no rules, only
unlimited ideas.
Every medium has its unique
and exhilerating properties,
like the juiciness of oils or
the vibrancy of pigmented wax.
There is also subject matter
for paintings everywhere--the
beautiful fall sunest in the
Hudson Valley, the brilliant
colors of farm fresh
vegetables, or the smiles on
childrens' faces.
Sometimes I create works that
are representational, because
I like solving the puzzle of
creating something in two
dimensions that does justice
to the "real" thing or person.
At other times, I just let the
medium create the dynamics,
and let the emotions or
shapges emerge.
My newest work is based on
combining figurative drawing
and encaustics. I love to
draw and have found that the
addition of pigmented wax
permits me to capture more of
the emotion of the subject.
This website is devoted
entirely to my work in
encaustics. To see work in
other mediums, go to

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
The Impressionist painters captured mood as well as told a story. They were also radical in their time. How inspiring! |
| |
| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I painted in high school but selected a career in finance by accident. Another accident, breaking my foot, gave me the reason to try art again during the summer six years ago. Now retired for two years, I love solving the problem of creating pleasing art in a variety of mediums. |
