From the artist:

My method of working has always been intuitive. Although I work primarily in watercolor, I also do charcoal drawings as well as working in various other arts and craft mediums. While watercolor is closest to my heart I try to stay versatile by working in as many mediums as possible, I find each one lends itself to the enhancement of the others.

I paint in both loose impressionistic, as well as controlled realistic styles, expectant that this diversity will keep my work fresh by allowing me to choose the style that best complements my current subject matter and medium.
I endeavor to impart this same element of experimentation and enthusiasm to my students. I believe this passion can lead to amazing works of art and exceptional artists.

For over 30 years my studio; nestled in a high valley near the Appalachian Trail in the Kittatinny mountains of rural NJ, was a major source of much of my inspiration. I recently relocated my private and teaching studios to Milford, PA and look forward to the camaraderie, inspiration and collective energy of fellow artists.
