Born in 1940 in Marblehead, MA, United States


1984-99, Art Students League

Studied in several private studios in France


Member of the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club



"All of my work, whatever the subject, indulges my fascination with light and dark. I love the mystery and intrigue of shadow and the drama of form.

I use a light umber wash and sizing to prepare my supports, onto which I do placement drawing to work out compositional issues. I then paint alla prima using rich colors, mysterious shadows, and the brilliant building of lights to convey my thoughts.

My material is gathered either from the live model, painted in a North Light Studio, or from plein-air sketches done on my trips to Italy and France."
