From the time I was very little, I found such enjoyment sketching the world around me. Today I still prefer to work from life.

I have studied with such noted artists as Jack Callahan, Paul Leveille, Rudy Caleo, Charles Movalli, and Helen Van Wyk. A Pastel Society of America scholarship gave me a chance to study with Albert Handell at the Woodstock School of Art.

I am an elected artist of the North Shore Art Association, Rockport Art Association, Lyme Art Association and a Signature Member of the Connecticut Pastel society. After several years as a member of the Academic Artists Association, Springfield, MA, I was honored to be the president and now past president.
