These images record a search for
beauty. At first, I found it mostly in the world
around me. I found it in people, objects, and on
the city streets.
Later, I began to find beauty in
forces, rhythms, colors and shapes I sensed from
within. I would pursue those things with my brush
and palette knife until they became
tangible.
Born 1958 in Bangor, Maine

I have had a couple of solo shows,
been in several group exhibitions, and taught oil
painting from my studio at various times.
I am so grateful for this rich
existence. Thank you for looking.
