My artistic vision and goal is to convey a deep appreciation of the natural world. To me form is beautiful, color is exciting, movement is visually stimulating, and texture and patterns open my eyes and my heart to express myself. I use many different art mediums because I like to sharpen my skills artistically and unpredictability keeps me interested.
I attended SUNY New Paltz were I received my BS in Art Education. I also have an MS degree from SUNY Fredonia. I have continued to expand my artistic education through summer workshops at Alfred University and several painting and printmaking workshops. After teaching for 30 years, I am now a full time award winning artist and gallery owner of Portage Hill Gallery (www.portagehillgallery.com)
