My aim is to help students find their own voice through a very tradition approach to oil painting. Whether you are interested in representational or non-representational work, there is the need for structure.

I request that students coming into my regular weekly classes have the experience of my Understanding Color workshop so they will understand the discipline of working with a color wheel to depict light.

The Understanding Color workshop answers questions on how to buy, store, and mix oil color for clarity and value control as well as how to use opaque and transparent color for maximum power. After taking the workshop on color, students are welcome to come to class with their own reference material.

Guidance is given on formatting the composition of the painting and developing a palette for each painting’s sense of light. You work at your own pace while having the advantage of hearing and seeing the problem solving techniques of others as they develop along with you. There is much to be said about working with like minded people in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. My landscape, oil paintings, still life, figurative paintings are available for sale at the Bucks County Gallery of Fine Art in New Hope PA.  www.buckscountygalleryart.com

“I think of myself as a representational artist with a twist of impressionism". I strive for the Chiaroscuro effects of strong lights, dark shadows and saturated colors.  I love old, timeworn objects and feel a sense of respect for the people who used and cared for them. I hope my paintings reflect the quiet drama of simpler times.

My creativity was ignited by the environment that was my childhood playground. I grew up in rural Maryland and eventually studied at Maryland College of Art & Design. With a profound love of the land and all its creatures, it is understandable that my artistic voice expresses this passion. Whether I travel to the Canadian Rockies or the Australian Outback, the inspiration will always be manifested on canvas.

Every painting is an experience of life, part of the journey and I love that journey. Just gazing at a tree with its twists and turns is exciting.  Nature is ever-changing with an inexhaustable source of inspiration.  When I look at our natural surroundings, the landscape, the ocean and sands of the beach, the blades of grass, the rippling water, the serene greens of summer, the sweet blossoms of spring and even the blue and purplish grays of winter, there is no question of what inspires me.  All of that has a powerful effect and influence upon what I paint awakening a passion from within my soul.
So, yesterday, today and always while on my journey through life, with a whispered prayer of gratitude to God, I aspire to capture that spirit, serenity and beauty of nature in the hope that your spirit will experience a tranquil uplifting if even for a few moments in time.  I invite you to join me on that journey.
