I love to paint! The making of imagery has consumed me for most of my life. I retired from teaching painting at Colorado State University and am now living in Phoenix, AZ. I received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and an MFA from University of Pennsylvania. My work is personal, autobiographical and multi layered in meaning and imagery. I knew I loved the figure so much that I wanted to paint and become proficient in depicting figures. This led me to use imagery from my family album using light as a binding element running throughout my work. I paint landscapes, interiors, exteriors, still life’s with figures interacting and posing for the camera displaying memorable moments with families, friends, and neighbors.

Hopefully, viewers will connect with a time and place in their own memories where their personal stories recall a time of great joy and/or great sorrow.
