My Background
I was always "artsy", creating, drawing, trying out many media and encouraged by my mother who was herself a talented artist. She had me work with acrylics and watercolor paints, needlepoint and embroidery and anything that came to hand.
My neighbors during grade school included the family of Alfred Duca, an artist and inventor who got me interested in sculpture.
My Medium
My primary medium is oil paint on both panels and canvas, but I also dabble in acrylics and the occasional watercolor. In addition, you will see some wood working pieces including a variety of furniture pieces, some of which I made with and for my son during the COVID lockdown. There is a gallery of mixed media works as well. These began with a large piece for my granddaughter, which was on of my favorite pieces to make.
My Inspiration
My family and nature are my inspiration, especially my granddaughter. I began painting birds and have been a lifelong birder.
