Artist Statement I have always loved to draw and paint since childhood. It has always transported me to a quiet and contemplative place.I would sit and draw friends and family or just objects and derive great pleasure from this. For the past 20 years or so I have striven to improve what I draw or paint. Somehow I never am satisfied with results and that keeps me doing it. I love art.
Biography I am basically a self-taught painter. I have accumulated a library of art books and love to study and try new things. I have done pastels and pen and ink and watercolor. I always go back to oils.
When possible I try to do workshops with artists I admire. I have shown work in several galleries in New England and am a juried artist at the Sharon Arts Center at present. I show in the Jaffrey Civic Center frequently. I sell to private collectors through out New England and beyond.
