Studio #30

If you come to my studio you will be immersed in an exciting world of color and movement, where women ride on zebras and where giraffes sport pink and purple spots.  What I strive to depict in my paintings is not a world of fantasy or the surreal, but our everyday world filtered through a lens of humor and whimsy.

 Painting is my passion.  I work with oil and acrylic, usually starting from a photo of my travels or an image of a person or scene that caught my eye.  I am drawn to the extraordinary, like dancers flying through space or people suspended in mid-air.  I also love painting exotic birds, wild animals, vibrant flowers, and peaceful landscapes, as well as the occasional abstract. Color is the thread that ties it all together.

 I have studied at the Woodstock School of Art, the Art Students League, and the Manhattan JCC.  I’ve frequently exhibited at the Emerge Gallery in Saugerties, ASK in Kingston, and Woodstock Byrdcliffe.  I’ve had solo shows at the Sawyer Savings Bank, Gristmill Real Estate, Goddard Senior Center, and on Artsy. 

 I hope you visit my studio where you will see a diverse group of paintings, including my latest works, at reasonable prices. Prints of my paintings will also be available.
