I have been painting for more than forty years. I received an undergraduate degree in art at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, and a MFA from the Pratt Institute in New York, where I studied with George McNeil – and therefore consider Hans Hofmann, McNeil’s teacher, to be my painterly grandfather.

Over the years my work has been exhibited in many one-woman, juried and group shows, notably: The William Benton Museum, Storrs, Ct.; Pratt Institute, Brooklyn; Atlantic Monthly Gallery, Boston; Boston City Hall, invitational; Silvermine Guild (award); Secrest Gallery, Wellfleet; Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center; Provincetown Art Association and Museum; Acme Fine Art, Newbury St., Boston; the Cherrystone Gallery, Wellfleet, Mass.; and 13FOREST Gallery in Arlington, Mass. Publications include a Boston Globe Magazine cover; collections include Graham Gund; commissions include the Truro garden of Jim Bennette and David Cowan, Acme Fine Art.

I have also taught drawing and painting to people of all ages, from preschool to adult, in New York City; Storrs, Ct. (University of Connecticut); Provincetown, Mass., and the Boston area (including Brockton Art Center/Fuller Memorial).

During the course of my career, I have maintained studios in: Manhattan’s Soho; Eddie Euler’s studios in Provincetown; Vernon Street Studios, Somerville, Mass.; and currently in what was the summer kitchen of my family’s 19th century New England farmhouse.
