I have always been doing artwork, but began serious art studies in the 1970's. During this time I took life drawing and painting classes at the local college. After completing courses that were available, I realized I needed to work outdoors from life in order to gain insight into the way daylight interacts with forms to produce the color sensations of vision. I worked on my own, but made thorough studies of a great many artists' works, to see what had been discovered, and what was possible to attain in using coloring to describe the visual sensation. Then I was fortunate to meet another painter who had similar goals, and he directed me to a painting teacher who specialized in teaching light, color, and form modeling outdoors. The teacher was Henry Hensche, who was director of the Cape School of Art, in Provincetown, Ma. for 60 years. I studied with Hensche for about 10 years.
I conduct painting workshops in the study of light, color, and form following Hensche's method for study. I have also taught painting at the college level, and to children, adolescents, and adults.
