To me, making art is a life-long journey with many facets. I work from abstraction to realism with a love of color and pattern.
Printmaking complements my painting, and forces me to think in simple shapes which are frequently embellished or collaged.

There are days when It's fun to combine the work with papers I prepare myself and make collages.
The papers are special because they won't fade when they are collaged and exposed to light. The colors are bright, beautiful and sometimes textured and printed for variety.

Pouring paint, decorating furniture,or making floorcloths and sculpture from found objects and old plates is part of the fun.

All of this makes for more artful adventure.*

The 3 dimensional Monoprint "Estros" was featured in 1998 on the cover of "Arts Around Boston Magazine".
Also, a featured artist in " Painting Without a Press " by Nancy Marculewicz, a book on making monoprints using a Gelatine Plate.


My work has been shown in New York at the National Arts Club, the Salmagundi Club,and several museums and galleries
