Artist's Statement -I am a professional pastel painter with collectors throughout the United States. I decided to join the "daily painting" movement on the web in September of 2006. As a result I have been creating small affordable pastel paintings ever since. Although I paint daily I do not always complete a work each day.

Biography - I have had a creative need since childhood. I am for the most part self taught although I have had many teachers in a non-traditional sense. In my youth I was influenced by Alfred Van Loen - sculptor, who taught me to follow my passion. Maxfield Parrish and Georgia O'Keefe have influenced my style the most.

Gallery Affiliations - My work has been displayed in art shows and galleries in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Visiting Artist Studios, Uxbridge,MA / Blackstone Valley Art Association
