About Me

I have been painting about three years now, since I retired from IBM. Always having had an interest in being an artist, my retirement gave me the opportunity to pursue my goal.

I have studied under Paul Gould, a local well known Hudson Valley Artist, for the past 2 years. Also I have attended Pastel classes with Pastel Artist Gayle Fedigan and Watercolor classes with the late Michelle Lester.

My primary interest is in painting landscapes, seascapes, animals and flowers. I have painted in oils, pastels, watercolor and acrylics. I am currently doing all my work in oil and pastel.
