I am a 78 year young abstract painter.

While I am interested in all forms of art, I consider myself an abstract painter working mostly with acrylic paints on stretched linen canvases. I have also begun using collage as another creative tool. I moved to Birmingham, AL in 2025 and opened Visual Feast Gallery, which features not only my work but also works by other artists using different media and techniques.

I began my career in sales, marketing and training. In 1986 I started my own company making handmade jewelry. My jewelry was (and still is) crafted with gold-filled wire, Czech beads, lamp-worked beads and freshwater pearls. It has always been designed for comfort as well as beauty and style. My company eventually grew to have four sales representatives and two people in manufacturing.

After more than 15 years designing modern jewelry, I began painting. My one-of-a-kind paintings offer interesting colors, a sense of movement, and visual textures. I create layers to obtain the final result, often returning to the same painting again and again. My main painting focuses are abstracts and floating images, and the colors are selected after careful consideration of how they will enhance the overall effect.

I believe that art is an important expression of personal environment and style. It must be embraced emotionally, and it must meet the owner’s design objectives and personality. I want buyers who are enthusiastic about my limited edition, one-of-a-kind pieces. I want the purchaser to have the same joy that the paintings gave me when I created them.

Many of the paintings in the gallery are framed, but you have the choice to keep the frame or hang the painting without a frame. Each piece is wired on the back for hanging.

I am currently represented by the Copley Society of Art in Boston, MA.
