| Your Personal Biography |
I paint landscapes, the figure, and still lifes that capture fragments of the world. They first arrest the viewer in terms of composition and color and then resolve into surprising takes on content. I work in acrylic on canvas.
Prior to my art career I was professor at the School of Health Sciences, Hunter College, CUNY. Despite prizes for painting and draftsmanship while in High School, I chose to study the social sciences in college and graduate school, and became an expert in health care policy and human resources. I authored four books, directed a masters program in health services administration, and pioneered courses in critical thinking and writing. I picked up the thread of drawing and painting in 1998 in plein-air workshops in Italy, and returned to serious study at Hunter College. I am still at Hunter, but I paint there now. I think I express an affirmation of life with an occasional hint of the solitary.
I have had annual solo shows at the Jadite Galleries, Manhattan; I am on display in group shows continuously at the Riverview Gallery in Havre de Grace, MD.
Exhibited:
Solo: Jadite Galleries, 413 west 50th Street, Manhattan, and has had solo shows at the Landmark Lobby Gallery, Eastview/Tarrytown, NY, the Gallery at Merritt Crossing, Milford, CT, and the Bulgarian Consulate, Manhattan.

Public art includes a 1999 triptych, 'Crosswalk Gestures,' at Hunter College.
Critics have said: '...the subtle color and powerful composition impressed me very much with both [its] chromatic sensitivity and ...natural design sense....' Dennis Wepman, author; former cultural affairs editor New York Daily News; former editor Artist Spectrum. (Private correspondence, 2004.) 'The technique and color usage...are very sensitive and give a good amount of feeling.... excellent technique and understanding of the elements.' (Juror comments, American Juried Art Salon, 2006). '... masterly touches of finesse in which texture, depth, and glass are interwoven into a work that captivates the eye.' (Juror comments, American Juried Art Salon, 2007).
A profile of my figural work and the development of my palette appeared in American Artist Magazine, November 2002. A column about my Aquarium Series appeared in Watermarks, Summer 2006. My painting, The Shell Monument, is the August selection in The Emerging Artists 2007 Calendar.

| Artist Statement |
I believe that my work is telling about the visual wonders the eye can see despite the chaos, corruption, distortion, and ugliness we confront in every-day life. My strengths are as a colorist with a strong sense of composition and a unique point of view. I rely on color theory and my own instincts to tell me what to do. I remain a representational painter because I am infatuated with how things look to me.
While my subjects cover a wide spectrum of images, the paintings are unified by my eye, as beholder: a unique fragment of reality or the viewer's stance I choose. My landscapes reflect where I have been and what excites me. My people are intent on living their lives, unaware of the viewer. There is movement, intensity, energy, and an edge that is my personal "take."
In September, 2007, I embarked on a new undertaking: to use my art to express my feelings about issues in the world. I use my realism to contrast what still reminds us of beauty with other, disturbing and terrifying aspects of the world: 21st century "Sublime."
