Biography

 

          In my art I choose subjects that have a personal connection. Many of my paintings feature the play of light on landscapes, portraits/figures and still life.

 

I started painting at the age of 12 and throughout the years, studied at the Art Students League in New York and also with many notable artists. Working in oil, pastel, acrylics, charcoal or watercolor, the challenge was always there. Today I work primarily in watercolor.

 

          My paintings have been selected into juried shows throughout New Jersey including the Ocean City Cultural Center juried exhibit in 2012, and I won first place watercolor in the 2013 Senior Show and Judges Choice at Pine Shores Art Association.  I was elected to full membership in the prestigious Garden State Watercolor Society and to the New Jersey Watercolor Society.  My painting was selected by the GSWCS for the Ken McCann award for a scene in the natural environment. My paintings are also in private collections.

 

Currently I am program director for the Suburban Artist Guild in East Brunswick.  I have also taught classes in drawing and watercolor for adults

 

          I continue in my pursuit of excellence. “I enjoy painting and hope to bring some of that joy to the viewer’s life.”

My primary medium is watercolor, though I enjoy working in collage, pastels, colored pencil as well as pen and ink. Using varying techniques and media, I explore a wide range of subjects and aim to capture a moment in time.

          I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Brooklyn College. I am on the Board of the Garden State Watercolor Society (GSWS), an Associate Member of the New Jersey Watercolor Society, Past Co-President of the Suburban Artist Guild, Member of the Pine Shores Art Association, Exhibit Planner of the Suburban Artist Guild, and, Co-Curator at Fiddleheads Restaurant in Jamesburg.

          I have exhibited in art shows throughout New Jersey and received awards including the “Gardens of the Garden State” Poster Image Award, and, Honorable Mention in the GSWS Associate Member Juried Exhibit.

My painting “Burst of Flowers” was featured on the cover of the On the Go section of the Home News Tribune. Last year, I received a Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence for my watercolor/collage “Reflections” at the 2012 East Brunswick Fine Arts Festival.

          My art work is in private collections in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and in the Township of East Brunswick’s Permanent Art Collection.
