I am a painter. Mixing and manipulating oil paint with 13" brushes I create paintings that capture the light, form and color of people, places, and things. 

My work is contemporary realism. I love contrast and color. Painting for me is finding the solution without all the details and distractions. 

I was born and raised in New Rochelle, NY. My father was an artist and advertising executive who had a strong influence on me, and my art. 

There was a time in my life when I felt the burden and stress from trying to do everything. We put impossible demands on ourselves and then feel overwhelmed when we fail to get it all done. I know now, we are all worthy and you simply don't have to do it all.  

My journey has been to simplify the complicated and be happy by leaving some things undone.
