Artist Statement….
"I was trained to become an Illustrator and did Illustration work for over 25 years. That experience gave me the discipline and skills to do a wide variety of subjects and in different mediums. Because of that I have been honored to be a "Designated Master" with both the American impressionist Society and the Oil Painters of America.
I consider myself a "Traditional/Impressionist" and have worked hard to strive to keep my standards up and make a good work of art.
As I tell my students.."an accomplished painting has an interesting and beautiful arrangement of shapes and colors".
That is what I strive to do, regardless of subject matter; to make a decent "work of Art".
I also have always loved to travel and am fascinated by different peoples and their cultures along with all of the beautiful and interesting landscapes that are part of this wonderful world that we live in. I feel very fortunate that I get to do what I really love to do."
