ARTIST PROFILE
As an artistic professional, I’m always looking for the next visual experience. I was fully devoted to the visual arts in the commercial sense for the past 40 years. I had an award-winning career in Boston, MA. For 20yrs as an art director/designer working with Fortune 100 companies; another 20 owning and operating my own design studio. . . and now — I'm finally stepping into the fine arts.
My experience includes a broad range of media, but my current preference is oil on canvas. I'm extremely proud to announce that I was just accepted as an associate member of the Oil Painters of America and a new member of the American Society of Marine Artists.
Since moving to the coast of Rhode Island, my inspiration comes from big skies and vast seas. I find the horizon holds a wealth of both drama and peace. For now, I'm still exploring and finding my voice. I hope you'll follow me in my journey!
