I was born and raised in the Northeast but have lived and traveled much of the USA and Europe. I have always been drawn to the mountains, lakes and ocean.  I'm inspired by the natural surroundings and captures the serenity and magnificence of my special moments with nature. Whether it’s majestic mountains, reflections in a lake, the colors of autumn or a wildlife moment, my goal is to "share the moment” through oil, acrylic and pastel paintings.

I started oil painting in 1983 while living in Louisiana and Texas. I'm dedicated to improving his skills and knowledge through studying with various artists and have expanded my painting skills by delving into acrylics and pastels. I found that my engineering background combined with my love of nature and art give me a unique perspective and expression through my contemporary realist paintings that capture the light, feeling and emotion of the moment.

I am an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America and have been fortunate enough to have been juried into many exhibitions as well as having won several awards for my paintings.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
