Primarily self-taught, I’ve created landscapes and still-life paintings in either oil or pastel medium for over 30 years. As a native of the Hudson Valley, most of my work is centered upon the Hudson River and surrounding mountains, fields, and marshes, but I’m also inspired by the dreamy marshlands in Maine. My favorite seasons to capture on canvas are late fall and early spring filled with sunsets, storm endings and foggy marshes, rich with the changing colors of the seasons. MembershipsColumbia County Plein Air Art ClubGalleriesCarrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NYGarrison Art Center, Garrison, NYMaplebrook Gallery of Art, Amenia, NYArt BenefitsGarrison Center’s Artist on LocationMaplebrook Gallery of Fine ArtEvent & Show History2018Riverside Art Auction, Garrison Art Center, Garrison, NY2018 Riders Mills Fence Show, Riders Mill Schoolhouse, Malden Bridge, NYJust Imagine, Kentucky Derby Art Show, Maplebrook School, Amenia, NY2017Riverside Art Auction, Garrison Art Center, Garrison, NYNatural Diversity, Kentucky Derby Show, Maplebrook School, Amenia, NYClassic Country Store exhibit space, East Chatham, NY2016Essence of Color, CCCA, Hudson, NYSpencertown Regional Juried Show, Spencertown, NYA Slant of Light, solo show, Kaaterskill Gallery, Columbia-Greene Community College, Hudson NYInspiration, Kentucky Derby Art Show, Maplebrook School, Amenia, NY5th Annual En Pein Air Painting Event, Olana State Historical Site, Hudson, NYClassic Country Store exhibit space, East Chatham, NY2015Trees and Skies, CCCA Hudson, NYRooster and Pears, Plein Air Show, Chamber of Commerce, Hudson, NYCelebrate, Kentucky Derby Art Show, Maplebrook School, Amenia, NYCreating Landscapes Within the Landscape, Olana State Historical Site, Hudson, NYRiverside Art Auction, Garrison Art Center, Garrison, NYChatham Area Farm and Art Tour, Chatham, NYCCCA Members Show, Pocketbook Factory, Hudson, NYWindows on Warren, Hudson, NY2014A Moment in Time, Maplebrook School, Amenia, NYRiverside Art Auction, Garrison, NYKinderhook Library Show, Kinderhook, NYChatham Area Farm and Art Tour, Chatham, NYColumbia County in All Seasons, CCCA, Hudson, NYCCCA Members Show, Pocketbook Factory, Hudson, NYWindows on Warren, Hudson, NYCreating Landscapes Within the Landscape, Olana State Historical Site, Hudson, NYRe: Tree, Kinderhook, NYMaplebrook Gallery of Fine Art Benefit2012When Art Meets Science, Tivoli Artists Co-op and Gallery, Tivoli, NYSerenity in Nature, Maplebrook Gallery of Fine Art, Amenia, NYThe Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands2nd Nature, Tivoli Artists Co-op and Gallery, Tivoli, NYButterflies—Cousins of the Sky, Tivoli Artists Co-op and Gallery, Tivoli, NYInto the Night and Out into the Day, Tivoli Artists Co-op and Gallery, Tivoli, NY2012 Riders Mills Fence Show, Riders Mill Schoolhouse, Malden Bridge, NYVIDA Benefit Art Auction, Kinderhook, NYCreating Landscapes Within the Landscape, Olana State Historical Site, Hudson, NYHoliday Small Works Art Show, CCCA, Hudson, NYHoliday Show, Tivoli Artists Co-op and Gallery, Tivoli, NYEducationFine Arts Classes, University of New Paltz, NY
