Into the Woods, 28 x 34 in., oil on linen

St. Sebastian, 72 x 48 in., oil on linen

Blue Tree, 50 x 40 in., oil on linen

My paintings are about movement, beauty, color and nature’s light. They reflect spaces real and imagined. They combine my interest in the physical and that which is beyond our reach.

I grew up by the water in a small town in Rhode Island. I received a BFA from the Cooper Union and am a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner grant. My work is in the collections of the Library of Congress and Columbia University.
