As a painter and printmaker, I work figures into simple environments. I look for edges where the figure and the ground can be merged, in order to create a sense of submission and solitude.

I am an indirect painter, which means that my paintings consist of numerous layers applied over many months. The layers add to the richness of the paint and a reduction in detail. I strive for elegant simplicity.

I have completed three years of studies at the Corcoran School of Art and Design. Recent shows include the 'Faces of the Fallen' exhibit in Arlington Cemetery and the Yellow Barn Gallery.
