While majoring in architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I studied drawing and painting with George Rickey, an internationally known sculptor.  In the late 1980’s, I began watercolor instruction with Anne Mueller at Holyoke Community College and later at the Hill Institute with Greta Carey and Russ Cross.

In the last few years, I have painted primarily in water media.  I enjoy the spontaneity of watercolor and the quickness of acrylic, and prefer a painting style that has proportionate amounts of looseness and precision. 

I have given painting demonstrations at the Deerfield Valley Art Association and the Holyoke League of Arts.
