I paint for the pleasure of putting color on paper, and to create paintings that fuse realistic images and strong abstract designs. I seek to create a design that shows why I chose the subject, the light in the scene and the color. I favor bright color and bold designs. Some of my favorite artists include John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth, Mary Cassat and Tiepolo.
I grew up in New York City, and enjoyed the great art museums there. I came to Toledo in 1975 to join the faculty of the Medical College of Ohio, retiring in 2012. Over the years I have attended more than 20 workshops on painting in watercolor and pastel. Currently, I paint for myself, and teach painting at the Toledo Museum of Art, The Toledo Artists' Club, and other venues in Northwest Ohio.
