ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO 

 

Trained in classical music as a child in Europe, painting is an extension of my love for creating and expressing.

Music (classical, jazz, rock) and the grandeur of Nature’s gifts have always inspired me. Also, our passions, dreams, and hopes are such an integral part of the human experience that expressing such a wide range of emotions on canvas is irresistible—it’s why I paint.

 To me, painting is a spiritual and intuitive journey. When I paint, I lose track of time and feel the pleasure—it sustains me and completes me. Sometimes I will work on a painting until it tells ME a story.  Other times, I will start with something in mind, but in the end, I respond to what is on the canvas and work on it until I feel it is resolved. To quote Georgia O’Keefe,I found I could say things with colors that I couldn't say in any other way – things that I had no words for.

My work has been accepted at various juried art exhibits including at the Grand Bohemian Gallery, The City Arts Factory, the Gallery at Metro, COMMA gallery, the Seminole Community College, all in Orlando, FL, SICA in Long Branch, NJ, the Monmouth Art Center and the Guild for Creative Arts in NJ , and the Art Center at Sarasota, and a solo show at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md.  My sold paintings and commissions are in private collections throughout the U.S. and Canada.
