Classic Realism with a Romantic Viewpoint
Painting has enthralled me since I was a young student studying with nationally known artists Robert Stanley and Nick Ruggieri. I remained focused on art and design throughout high school, and I studied art at The Rhode Island School of Design, The Maryland Institute, and earned my MFA at The Savannah College of Art & Design. I continue to revel in the power of a brushstroke and the transformational impact of making paintings.
