I am a Lancaster County, PA native and was captivated at a young age by a relative’s “tube paints”—and subsequent gift of new art supplies. I started oil painting as a child, attending private lessons from my professional artist/neighbor. As a young student, I entered local shows and had early experience with commissions and volunteer creative projects. In 1980 I graduated from York Academy of Arts (now PA College of Art & Design) as a Fine Artist. I continued to paint and worked 30+ years as a graphic designer and photographer. These days painting is the passion. I am a member of “Marietta Art Alive” and you will find me painting “en plein air,” organizing shows, completing commissions, as well as working in the studio. I consider my work contemporary impressionism. Whether a landscape, a portrait, or still life, my work reflects the emotional connection I feel with the subject.
If you are interested in discussing a commission or any other creative project, contact with me an email or leave a phone message using the number below. You can own an original portrait (I can work from your photo), or a personalized vacation photo painting (from your photo), a favorite food or herb for popular kitchen art. Ideas are unlimited and the cost is reasonable and affordable.
Thank you for visiting!
