About

I am a painter and illustrator. My focus is on animals and wildlife, and reflects my respect for their integrity.I work in many media, although I prefer the depth gained through the layering of color and texture of egg tempura, despite the time involved throughout this meticulous process.

Painting and drawing have been my life. I earned my BFA at the State University in New York, and MFA from the Savannah College of Arts and Design, Savannah, GA. My commissions include books, magazine articles, advertisements, and individual portraits. Much of my painting, which I share here, is for my personal reflection and pleasure. Friends have come to expect the Christmas card I draw each year, some of which I’ve shared on this site.

I live in a rural enclave in upstate New York, with Pancho, a miniature donkey, (who has his own miniature barn) Piper, my Shelty, and two cats, Bug and Humphrey.
