Artist's Biography

After a lifetime of wishing I could, I began painting in 1987 and quickly found that I couldn’t stop. I re-arranged my work life and took as many classes and workshops as I could manage. I began showing my work locally in 1990 and was admitted to the 3rdStreet Gallery in Philadelphia in 1996. My work now exists in private and corporate collections across the United States and in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. I maintain a studio outside Philadelphia in Narberth PA and welcome visits by appointment.

Artist's Statement

Painting for me begins with the pleasure of making marks on canvas or paper. As the marks respond to one another they lead me to forms that are familiar or to places previously unknown to me. Sometimes my love of color takes over and sometimes memories, ideas, or glimpses of other worlds emerge. Since I do not restrict myself to genre or palette, I am able to explore wherever the paint leads.
