Bio & Resume

I love to paint.  I’ve been blessed by timing.  To be alive right now for this chapter in arts history is a phenomenal gift.  Classicism, once pronounced “dead” is reemerging with a new contemporary vitality.  The gifts of modernism: color, form, and abstraction, are now being seamlessly integrated with the craftsmanship and techniques of the past.  How wonderful to have so much wealth at my fingertips!
