I have lived in New York since 1946. I studied with Mario Cooper at the Art Students League. After graduation from Pratt Institute I continued to explore abstract painting, working and studying with Milton Resnick and Carl Holty.

Living and working in nature has always been important. Many summers were spent in the Catskills and eventually in Maine. The large oil paintings expressed my appreciation and love of nature.

Since my first visit to Monhegan in 1979, my time spent on the island greatly expanded as the need to be surrounded by the nature of the island became stronger. The Monhegan experiences created a shift from my oils to pursuing a more personal, unique art form.

My works have evolved, and continue to evolve using crow-quill pen and ink and watercolor on archival paper. I continue to work on each image until I feel that it is completed
