Bio
Ohio in the 50s and 60s was a great place to grow up. Drawing was a big part of my youth; from cartooning to making comic books. I completed an Art Education degree at Kent State University in the 70s. There I discovered my love of painting and the Arts in general. In the early 80s I continued studying painting and printmaking at the Boston Museum School. Later in that decade I earned a Masters at Yale School of Art. It was a time of intense work, meeting famous artists, and many trips to New York galleries and museums. Throughout the 90s I was a member of the Bromfield Gallery and had several solo shows there. I was in group shows at Georgia Tech University and in three New York Galleries. My paintings were reviewed in The Boston Globe, Art NewEngland, and included in corporate collections. From 1994 to 2018 I was a high school art teacher. Over those years I taught Advanced Placement Art and ceramics, organized art exhibits and helped at Art All State, built sets for play productions and helped with drama festivals. It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling career; working with hundreds of talented, energetic teens was a great experience. During that time I was in group shows at ArtsWorcester, the Sprinkler Factory, and the Montserrat Art College Gallery. Now I am retired and happily putting my full attention into painting.
