Short Bio and resume

 



Thank you for visiting my web site. I am a New England painter. Following a long line of artists trying to capture the beauty found along the rugged coast, mountains, and coastal towns of the region. My painting challenge is trying to capture the way sunlight transforms the spectacular and the ordinary into something stunning.

Education:
I am primarily a self taught painter. But have received instruction in workshops and night classes from Plein Air painters, David Lussier, Randall Sexton, Trish Hurley. John MacGowan, and Tom Deininger. 

But also have a back ground in Jewelry Industry and BFA in ceramics in 1976 from Coe College
