Charleston, SC
I live and work in Charleston, SC, raised my family in CT, and grew up in NY. The terror attacks of 9/11 propelled me to give up my business career to pursue a direction with more purpose and meaning - I chose to follow my long-time passion for art by learning to paint. I quickly discovered a world way bigger than before!
My work often explores the depth and vitality of the human spirit, and our apparently innate ability to survive tragedy. I like employing metaphoric meaning and the poetic potential of simple objects.
Most of my oil paintings have roots in pattern and decoration, and are layered with a variety of mixed media including gold leaf, photo transfer and text. They have been recognized by many regional and national juried exhibitions, and have been represented in galleries (Santa Fe, NM, Provincetown, MA, Saratoga Springs, NY and throughout Connecticut), and awarded prizes, published and sold to public and private collections in the US and Europe.
