Where I lived has always greatly influenced my art.  I was raised in Clearfield, Pennsylvania and grew up in farm country.  Walking in the fields and forests, as well as being around animals gave me a great love for the outdoors.  Living near New York City for several years and then living for a much longer time on the Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona and New Mexico provided other strong influences.  I now live in Fort Smith, Arkansas where I am learning more about the South.

I have been enjoying the life of an artist since I retired as a teacher.  I now have time to work on my life dream of enjoying and creating art.  The paintings you will see in my collection are a combination of light and shadow.  In my still life, landscape, drawings, and abstract creations are a keen sense of richness of color, balance and movement.  Hopefully, the dramatic use of light will captivate your eye as you wonder through the paintings.
