Born and raised in New Jersey, I shared the middle berth in my family of eight children, and have always walked to the beat of a different drummer. A circuitous route found me moving to Belfast, Maine in 1981. The first half of my life as an artist was filled with multiple-piece corporate commissions and full time sales of my artwork. After decades spent creating intricate and technically demanding airbrushed fabric paintings – large in both size and scope – my second half finds me delving deep into the intimacy of oils and smaller canvases. I paint what is around me..

In 2014 I opened the Finch Gallery, and I closed those doors in 2019. Currently my work is on display at The Hoot in Northport.  My studio is 2 miles from town, and is open by appointment only. Please do not hesitate to give me a call and arrange a time for a visit.

I now paint only in the late autumn, winter and spring. I spend as much time on and in the water as I possibly can.  I have embraced winter  on Penobscot Bay, and not only kayak year round, but for the last four years have continued  to enjoy the cold water embrace of cold water immersion. How to feel alive!
