I was born and raised in Upstate New York (Delaware Co.) and the beautiful rural setting has always been an influence in my life and work. Extensive travel throughout the country is always a reminder of how fortunate it is to live in this particular part of the country.
After attaining an AAS Degree in Landscape Design and working in the Midwest for a couple years I decided to return to school and study art. This decision resulted in returning to Oneonta and getting a BA in Studio Art in 1976.
I am currently a member of UCCCA, the Cooperstown Art Association and the Artisans' Guild in Oneonta.
I have shown works in one-man and multiple artist shows throughout the country and have works in both private and business collections.
