“Creativity is a lot like happiness. It shows up when you’re thinking of something else.” - Bert Dodson

I am an oil painter based in Northfield, NJ, a pretty shore town outside of Atlantic City. I grew up near the Jersey Shore and have been interested in various art forms my whole life. Formal lessons began in 2007 with a local artist, Carl Rosner, who specialized in oils. I have remained a student of his until recently and still call on him to mentor me and critique my work.

My paintings encompass a wide range of vibrant still life and landscape subjects, often inspired by my travels throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe. Having recently returned to South Jersey, I built an art studio in my backyard and look forward to many hours filled with new projects. In addition to the original pieces in this exhibit, my studio is also stocked with giclees ( digital prints). I now feel fully prepared and excited to guide my own students to explore their inner creativity and bring their innate artistic abilities to the foreground.

The inspiration for my paintings often originates from photos with refinements made as each painting takes shape. As I look at my paintings, I recall happy memories of beautiful scenery and wonderful trips.

I hope you will take some time to browse through my work and experience a visual journey of your own.
