Artist Statement:
Artist Statement
Art is something I have
enjoyed all of my life. I am
now compiling all of my
knowledge and interests into
teaching endeavors. I have had
success helping artists to
learn how to use the materials
to create paintings, and how
to begin a composition with
confidence, and bring it to a
completion in such a way that
they will be able to repeat
the process on their own.
Some of my family members are
presently working in the art
field or have been in the arts
in the past. At the moment I
am in the mood to loosen up
and show more stylization and
brush work so keep tuned. I
like to engage in different
techniques and subject matter.
If I had an exhibition of all
of my work people would be
surprised that it is all by
one artist. I have a
collection of jazz art images
that is present on my own
website.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I had three people in my family who were involved in art in some way. My father, an Italian from Naples taught me very early to draw lines that intertwined, no doubt he saw them in the inlaid floors in churches in his country. I started drawing at a age 4. Although I was favorably affected, very moved and stimulated by my grandmother's classical piano music, I found painting happening more easily. My mother had attended the Art Student's League in New York City, and she carried her love of art into the home with paintings, decorations, fabrics, and a love of theatre. I carry art materials everywhere, and I have influenced my granddaughter so much that she is very imaginative and quick at drawing and coloring. I share painting through teaching seniors now and I go to galleries or take a workshop to reconnect with my peers and stay in the present of what is happening in the art world. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I learned from a friend and writer Apollo Dorian that the Munsell Scale in color had been taught by Frank J. Reilly at the Art Student's League in NYC. I studied from Apollo's manual 'a Picture Worth a Thousand Words. I took a portraiture workshop with JoAnn Roy in Norwalk, Connecticut. JoAnn if you are out there please call me!!! I studied at the Cooper Union in New York City and before that the High School of Music and Art. I have no voice to sing nor ear to play nor the stamina it takes to create music on my own, but I do enjoy drawing the musicians and letting the music run through me, not only jazz but classical as well. My father taught me something valuable about drawing when I was only four years old. Plein Air came to me late in life. I had lived in the Yukon Territory, Canada for a few years when I was a young adult and landscape was always something I could live in and savor the odors and sights of the seasons. But I studied non objective art of the 50's, abstract expressionism. I went to the Yukon to be in nature, and ended up doing a major City Hall Mural in the bicentennial year, and then moving to San Francisco. |
