Drawing is for me the most expressive form of sharing my vision and thoughts. Through that medium I can see things as they really are. The figure could be a landscape; a landscape can be poetry; a still life may be an orange or a tree; animals have drama and personality, a portrait could have a moment captured or tell a life story. These I find, along with music, exciting and energizing.

As an artist, my development has come from many places. My college studies at Long Island University where I studied under Bob Yasuda, Parsons School of Design, the Art League of Long Island, and continuing now at USC Aiken studying under Al Beyer's brilliant guidance.

Exhibition opportunities have afforded me the chance to display my work alongside artists of diversified talents and interests. Solo shows have been challenging and gratifying. I'm proud to say that my work is in several private collections.

Take a journey through my works here and enjoy them.
