I began to paint seriously nearly 20 years ago when I moved to central New Jersey and found myself in the vibrant arts community that spans the Delaware River. It changed the focus of my life.

 I try to show the beauty around me in my paintings. My aim is to create work that is not only visually interesting but has an emotional resonance. Ideally, the viewer sees not only beauty in the subject, but also how it is affected by color, atmosphere, and the play of light.
