For as long as I can remember I have been making art. I find inspiration in the structures and landscapes surrounding my home in Chester County, PA. I travel and often paint while in the car and on location for fear the idea will be lost forever. These pieces result in a finished paintings or serve as a study for other paintings which are completed in the studio.
While I am primarily self-taught artist, I attended classes at the Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. My art education continues in various workshops with artists such as Claudia Rilling and Jon Redmond.
My work can be found in many public and private collections. I am represented by Strodes Mill Gallery in West Chester, PA, Carspecken Scott Gallery in Wilmington, DE, and Mainstreet Galleries in Kingston, PA.
