ABOUT

I have always loved the sea - the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves, and the gulls.  I put this love & ideas into some of my paintings.  I try to make my creations look like some place I would like to either live, visit, or explore, whether it be the beach, overseas, or even my neighborhood.  I have dabbled in pottery, creating bowls, dishes, & other objects of art that need a viewer’s imagination.   I started with oils, beginning with a gift set from my Dad in high school, then onto watercolors, and finally acrylics.

​

My art career started back in grammar school when I won an award for a painting for Fire Prevention week in sixth grade.   In high school I won an award for painting Robert Wood’s “Early Spring”, where I learned from my talented teacher, Mr. Marone.  Classes also included picking up skills from Foster Caddell, a renowned artist from Voluntown Ct., and more recently, art classes in Greenwich, CT from skilled artist and teacher, Nomi Silverman.

 

I have created works inspired by the styles of Salvador Dali, Jamie Wyeth, and Claude Monet.  I am also a member of the Greenwich Art Association.
