Most of my life has been spent in the beautiful Hudson River Valley of New York. The Catskill Mountains were to our north, Hudson River to our east and the Shawangunk Mountains to our west. Surrounded by that kind of beauty and nature, its easy to grow up and appreciate the many wonderful perspectives that nature offers. Yes, there are so many beautiful places. In 2004 we relocated to Delaware, an area very different from the mountains of NY. The mid-Atlantic region has its own special serene beauty. You don`t have to travel far to stumble on farms, tidal basins, estuaries, marsh lands, rivers and interesting old waterman communities that dot the Delaware and Chesapeake bays. In 2006 I became interested in Plein Air painting and have taken numerous work shops with regional and nationally recognized artists. My style of painting is still developing and there is so much to learn. I consider myself a representational artist and love driving back country roads or coastal byways observing nature. Setting up along these wonderful vistas gives me a sense of peace and completeness. I am a member of the Mispillion Art League of Milford De, Rehoboth Beach Art League, Plein Air Painters of the Eastern Shore (PAPES), Adirondack Plein Air painters, and the Mid Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association.
