I love the majestic feeling of this Old Mill and the secrets it could share.

ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PASSION
It all began as an art major in high school. I am mainly a self-taught painter who still believes in continuing education. I have been painting for many years while taking classes with prominent area artists and Bucks County Community College.

I enjoy the process of creating art reflecting my interpretation. I always explore new ideas and ways to portray color and design.

My technique does not limit me to one style or medium. I paint in oil, watercolor, pastel and acrylic. When I begin a piece it is an extension of what I have learned and where I am heading in the future.

I am fascinated with Portraits, Still Life and the beauty of the Bucks County landscape with all of its history and color. I am considered a representational painter emphasizing value,color and composition,

I am a member of The Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County,The Philadelphia Sketch Club, Artsbridge, Doylestown Art League and the New Hope Art League
