I grew up on the green hills of Southeastern Pennsylvania. My earliest memories are of playing in the sun with my siblings - chasing each other through labyrinths of trees. We regularly attended the Brandywine River Museum, "home of the Wyeths" and I lived among realistic depictions of my county by an American great, Andrew Wyeth. The beauty of Chester County, Pennsylvania continues to inspire my focus on depicting "place." Currently, I make art among the beauty of Old Lutherville and I also teach art to young children in Baltimore City Public Schools.
The scope of my artwork includes collage, mixed media, artist-made books, drawing, photography, and printmaking. I share a studio with my partner, Denise, at Wamalingo Studio in Brentwood, MD. I have exhibited in many local exhibitions through the years and my work has been collected in public and private collections.
If there is any common thread throughout my work it would best describe as embracing the elements of chance, accident, improvisation as well as natural abstraction. At times, it also involves my personal attack on rationality and a materialistic and disposable world.
