ARTIST STATEMENT

I was classically trained in figure drawing and painting.

I was also trained in design & Illustration. The figure is still

A large part of my work . I find it a challenge to try and capture

The beauty of the human form in all its complexities and moods.

I work in a variety of mediums including oils watercolors & acrylic

I use a painterly approach with a strong use of color. I paint

What I feel about what I see. I like my paintings to have a sense

of movement to have a life of there own.  Since moving to the east end of long Island the world I paint are the beaches and the local landscapes  My goal as  an artist is through my work to be a reflection of the beauty of Creation.
