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 and 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.
