Cities

I am fascinated by cities, old and new. Though my hometown, Baltimore, is a favorite subject, I have had opportunities to diversify the subject, ranging from the intense complexity and expanse of New York or Tokyo to the ancient ruins of Italy.

France

I had the great fortune of being selected as a resident of the Maryland Insitute College of Art Klots International Program for Artists, where I could commit to painting for entire month.   The Program provided an invaluable experience, as it allowed me to immerse myself in my work, to enjoy a fabulous part of France, and to extend a network of friendships with other artists.

Museum Collections

I have been studying artwork diverse in time and geography.  I expressed this initially by painting representations of ancient Roman sculpture an  frescoes of Renaissance Italy.  More recently, I also became fascinated with images of India, the far east and ancient America.  Eventually, the paintings of sculpture grew into more complex original arrangements composed in multi-media, including manipulated photographic prints from images of various cultures.
