Statement My paintings are not the direct illustration of the landscape and plant forms. They are, however, the expression of a realm of feeling derived from the reaction to the encounter with the landscape. It is a transmission of personal and private emotions that find their source in the imagery. The color and passages of paint are not necessarily in the place observed, but rather from the artist's interpretation. Teaching I teach painting workshops in the US and in the UK and Ireland, as well as in France and Italy. I am presently on the faculty of the Memorial Art Gallery, adult classes, of the University of Rochester. I have organized painting workshops for over 15 years. I am a member of Who's Who in American Art and have been named One of 2000 Outstanding Artists of the Twentieth Century by the International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, England. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the College of New Rochelle, New Rochelle, |
