...Born with artistic ability, I was encouraged by both family and mentors such a Paul and Caroline Berry of Skylark Studios,Gary Trento a Syracuse University proffessor, and the well known watercolorist John DeTour. I love to experiment in a wide variety of mediums including acrylics, pastels, watercolors, oils and hand-inked scratchboard.
