Welcome

This web site displays most of the paintings I have done to date and a few drawings. In general, newer paintings are placed last in each portfolio.

Portfolios include: Portraits of Animals and People, Land and Seascapes, Historical Paintings, Still Life and Flowers, Spiritual and Fantasy and Drawing and Illustration. I continue to create paintings and drawings in all of these genres.

Currently I am working on a series of historical paintings, sponsored in part by grants from the Martha's Vineyard Center for the Visual Arts. The entire series will be exhibited in New York this July and August in a one woman show at the Mabee Farm Historic Site.

New projects include a portrait of Frederick Douglass for the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, "18th Century NY Prominent Players" historical painting and portrait series and paintings for Featherstone's Flower Show and the Friends of Family Planning Art Show Memorial Day weekend at the Ag Hall.
