ABOUT ME
I am a multimedia artist working in charcoal, oil, acrylic and collage to explore semifigurative imagery and themes. I studied at Mass College of Art and the Boston Museum School early and then developed a career in business and technology for a number of years before returning to full-time art making.
My paintings and drawings are an exploration of the many versions of self - and others - through both figurative and abstract methods. The imagery throughout much of the work suggests disguised (and explicit) emotions, identities and contemplation. I use a figurative lens to create a scaffold for working with contrast and color. I often include collaged photographic textures and other diverse materials that add dimension and serendipity to the work, and I am fascinated with the use of realism contrasted with drawn/painted objects to evoke mystery, complexity and the dilemmas of being alive.
I currently work and exhibit regularly at galleries in Washington DC and Annapolis, MD area and have been fortunate to have had several productive solo exhibitions as well as media recognition in the Washington Post and East City Art.
