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.”
