ARTIST STATEMENT & BIO

Painting in a representational manner I enjoy utilizing the tactile quality of oil paints and strive to make a painting that has confident brushwork, paint handling and color. Each painting is an honest effort to create a work of art. As an adjunct professor I have taught painting, drawing and design courses at Art Institute of York, York College, Penn State University Harrisburg Campus, and Harrisburg Area Community College.
