About Me I am a Washington DC based Artist and Architect, born in New Jersey. I completed a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts in 1981 and went on to a Masters of Architecture in 1990. After 8 years of architectural practice, I returned full time to my original passion for painting. I work in watercolor, oil & printmaking. I have exhibited widely in the Washington DC area and my work is found in collections around the world, from embassies to corporate and private collections. My education as an architect has opened my eyes to the unique qualities of places and helps me to understand the forms of the built environment, in a broad vista or an intimate still life. I work to capture this on paper, to show ordinary things in an extraordinary way.

About My Paintings I like the portability of watercolor and the ability to work on location. I do not use techniques or special tools, I simply apply paint to paper and work quickly. I want the viewer to look at a picture and be able to see how it was done -- seeing the work of the artist's hand, as in a sketch. Watercolor is well suited to this approach. For conceptual and imaginary themes, I prefer the more studio-based mediums of oil and printmaking.
