    I have lived in Vermont since 1973, and have been painting and 

    drawing  all of my life. My mother was an art teacher, so what 

    choice did I have?!!!  

    

    My primary goal is to work outside whenever possible, with studio 

    refinement on  paintings taking place during the winter. Abstract 

    work-both paintings and drawings     has always been central, 

    even when I have injected myself into  natural settings. I have 

    participated in both solo and group shows,     in Vermont and 

    around New England.  Over the years I have had a million different 

    jobs; even a couple that  could be called careers. 

 

     Currently I teach art at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility, 

    and work for a local  stained glass business. Some favorite artists     

    are Emily Carr, Wayne Thibaud (his city scapes),  Friedensreich 

    Hundertwasser, and Frank Gehry.
