My painting is a passion
Initially inspired by color
Shaped by light, shadow, nuance;
Hoping to evoke in you the feelings that
enrich my life.

I was inspired initially in the caverns of my upbringing, in Manhattan, by the skyscrapers, the museums, the speeding byways and the parks. Art was my sanctuary.

After a career in medicine and stimulated by dwelling in the glorious visual stimulus of rural Virginia, I have returned to my original passion. Since the millennium, I have challenged myself to understand the media, the language of art, and how ideas are best visually expressed. I hope my paintings can increasingly elicit from you the feelings that inspired the creation from me.
