I grew up in central Connecticut. I spent my professional career living near Boston, working for eleven years at Massachusetts General Hospital. I then worked privately as a dentist and orthodontist and taught part-time for twenty five years at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. For the past thirty-five years I have studied and evolved in the field of Fine Arts and have been supported by my family, friends and patrons. I was drawing and painting by age 9. I watched whatever painting shows that were televised without realizing this was a secular interest. While I was encouraged to pursue another profession that had an artistic element to it, I spent my free time creating my own work. On my down time I studied at the Montserrat College of Visual Art, the Decordova Museum School, The Cape Cod School of Art, The Provincetown Fine Arts Workshop, and the Museum School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. My studios are in Truro MA and in Sonoma, CA.
I was originnaly inspired by work in sculpture and pastel. I found a preference in oil, stayed and studied. It has been a lifelong visual and technique evolution. I do plein-aire for small works and studio painting from sketches, drawings and designs from my imagination which I connect to scenes.
My work is influenced by the subleties of color and light which have a visual effect and mark my memory and emotions. It represents a serene moment in which one is absorbed into the scene. This opens internal senses. My work is done through the joy of creating a scene that is captivating.
I am inspired by the painting of William Turner, Edward Hopper, Vincent Van Gogh, Claud Monet, Frederick Remington and many more. The passion I feel in my work is at times inspired by music. My goal is in the visual and psychological experience of creating.
I enjoy sharing that experience with others as shared connection to our unusual world.
