My appreciation of painting has developed through study, meditation and time in nature. Traveling frequently, observing light, color and form in the landscape, I continue to explore the human spirit and the power of contemplation. My passion is the discovery of connection to subject and the process in which the painting evolves. Each painting is an act of reverence, using aesthetics to translate the spirit of the subject.
My background is diverse and includes painting, acting, writing and producing in theater, film and the visual arts well as spiritual studies and practices. I have developed and directed several organizations including an off off Broadway Theatre, an Independent Film Company, and an Arts and Cultural Organization.
