I am a native of New England and I now reside in upstate New York. I have been drawing, painting and taking photo's for as long as I can remember. I love exploring the endless possibilities of mixed media paintings, digital illustration and photo imaging.
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from The University of Connecticut. Throughout the past three decades I have had opportunities to utilize my talents in several different genre's of art including digital photography and imaging, digital illustration, abstract, landscape, portrait and figure drawing and painting using a variety of mediums, all styles of pen and ink illustration, murals, multi-image slide presentations, as well as desktop publishing.
A few Juried Exhibitions include solo exhibitions at Phoenix Mutual Gallery, Hartford Ct., and The Kirshbaum Library , Waterbury, Ct. Juried group shows at the New England Artist Exhibition, Cape Cod Art Association, Barnstable Village, Mass., Impressive Impressions, The Atria Gallery, Hartford, Ct., The Newburyport Waterfront Festival, Newburyport, Ma., Tamarac Street Fair , Tamarac Fl., Alumni Exhibition, Atrium Gallery, Storrs, Ct., Seven Lively Arts Festival , Hollywood Fl., and Park Art Exhibits, Central Park South, New York City to name a few. Most recently I have shown my work at the Art Society of Kingston "In Full Bloom" a group show to celebrate womens history month, and member shows, G.A. S. Gallery in Poughkeepsie NY's small works show, Kingston Open Studio tour, LGBTQ Center in Kingston, a solo show at Sanjula Salon in Tivoli. The theme was A Tribute to New Orleans and featured digital illustrations. I also had a solo show at Hudson Coffee Traders in Kingston NY. I have had some great opportunities to explore the commercial art world. One of my favorite jobs was working as an illustrator/designer for The Nexus in Canton, Ct., musician Todd Rundgren's fan network. I also enjoyed being the creative director at Slidestudio in Hartford, Ct. designing slide presentations for corporations promoting Grey Poupon Mustard, Smirnoff Vodka, A-1 Steak sauce and more. I was an art consultant for Trans Art Inc. in Boca Raton, Fl., helping people utilize art to beautify their homes and offices. And I designed and painted numerous murals for Computer Based Systems and Services Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. I also designed this website.
My other passion is writing and performing original music along with artist tributes. I have made numerous appearances throughout New York, the Tri-State area and Florida. That's a whole other story! Check it out and listen to my music at:
