I have been painting since the age of twelve. I have learned mostly from books and took a few classes in college, I worked on a degree in humanities with a focus in art. I had the good fortune of travelling throughout Europe and the Far East and I have seen Rembrandt, Picasso and Goya's, I love persian rugs, Afican art and Asian art. My paintings have been shown in Korea, Germany, and in the US. I have shown my art in Florida since the early eighties and was a member of studio 100 art gallery and the Homestead art club. Recently I was part of Les Beaux art gallery and starving artist gallery in Greenville SC.I am now showing at the Event Center in Punta Gorda and Englewood Florida. These are ongoing events that are displaying paintings of the area. I love art and have learned to paint what I like and always to be open to new ideas, I never stop learning ,I love texture, color and the interplay of different mediums.I love it when I become lost in what I am doing and in the end have no way of recreating the process. My work speaks for itself. Paintings have a way of taking on a life of their own, transending the artist. I am not caught up Into style, my challenge is to paint, do the best I can, have fun and be free.
