​Artist Statement and Bio

As a contemporary realist, I bring a sense of proportion and light to my canvases.  My work embodies a balance of realism and vibrant color that allows the viewer to see everyday objects in a visually interesting and humorous way. 


​Throughout my life I have studied and taught different types of art.  Specializing in Acrylics.  Through the years I have owned, operated and exhibited in Galleries and Museums in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and North Carolina.  My art is in private and corporate collections throughout the world.  

Since 2011 I have been an Artist in Residence for Oceania Cruises. Their ships, the MARINA, RIVIERA, INSIGNIA and the new VISTA have become my floating art galleries where I exhibit my work and teach art classes. Traveling all over the world has allowed me  to grow as a person and as a painter.  I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity. 



I hope you enjoy your visit.
