A native of Washington, DC, and now resident of Maryland, I paint plein-air in oils and both soft and oil pastels, have won many awards, sold over 1000 paintings, exhibit in local shows, and give an annual show of my recent work. I am a member of the Frederick County Art Association, the Delaplaine Visual Arts and Education Center, Montgomery County Plein Air Artists, Frederick Plein Air Painters, and the Plein Air Painters Meetup.
