"I have always been an artist and have studied and worked in various mediums. Landscape painting in oils and pastels has been my passion for the past few years. I enjoy hiking in the Catskills and often sketch and paint on location."
"I live in Woodstock, NY, on a mountain ridge. Sunrises, sunsets and varied weather conditions provide stimulating subjects and constant inspiration. I do not strive to be a realist but seek the subliminal essence of the landscape. I am constantly amazed by the beauty of the Catskill Region and the limitless possibilities of the natural world."
