'Art has always been a part of my life. Having a graphic arts background has influenced my art in that a strong composition is very important to me. I prefer close-up views, studying how shapes created by light and shadows interact together. 
My inspirations found in nature include luminous berries, vegetables, flora, and animals with a focus on birds and waterfowl.
I am a Signature Member of the Pastel Societies of America, Maine, New Hampshire, Central Mass, and an Associate Member of Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod and the Connecticut Pastel Society and have received Honorable Mentions in the Pastel 100 Competition for Pastel JournalMagazine as well as a finalist for Artist's Magazine Competitions.'
