Biography
Drawing and painting for me goes beyond just expression, I create for the challenge. The challenge of attempting to re-create the perfection and beauty so effortlessly produced by nature. I welcome this challenge with every subject I draw and paint. Why? Because this practice fosters creativity and fuels my next artwork. Every new artwork has its challenges: composition, proportion, drawing a likeness, proper color mixing, matching the correct values and saturation to create believability.
I have a sense of both accomplishment and surprise with the completion of each and every artwork, learning more and more as I move forward. I will never attain the perfection of nature in my work, but I know that I am one tiny step closer with every artwork I create.
My work has been exhibited throughout New England and the Tampa Bay area. I received my MFA degree from the Academy of Art University and Bachelor's degree from Saint Anselm College.
