My goal is to evoke a feeling through color, line, stroke and texture. I prefer subtlety over detail, suggestion rather than exact depiction and a hint instead of an overworked statement.
As both a musician and a painter, I draw parallels between musical composition and painting. At the heart of both areas – for me—it is all about awakening one’s deep inner feeling and letting them thrive.
I am currently studying oil painting at the New Jersey Center of Visual Arts under artist and printmaker Jessica Lenard. My artistic journey is young, but has to date brought me great joy, taught me patience and has encouraged me to calm my thoughts and just feel.

August 1 – September 30, 2010
I am a botanical illustrator and photographer who taught art in the New Jersey public schools for thirty years. As an art instructor I worked diligently to attain my goal of developing my student’s eye – those heightened observation skills that are mandatory in the process of drawing. Seeing more acutely and accurately makes the whole world, not just art, more stimulating and life much richer.
As an artist, I create dramatic portraits of nature that convince my audience to give my illustrations and photographs more than just a passing glance. Instead of a group I depict one item. By isolating the subject and eliminating the background I emphasize all of the beautiful subtleties and details that are usually missed. My inspiration is endless; I need only walk out my door.
