The first time I fell in love with drawing was during family trips. Free time was spent sketching scenes
of the surroundings. I continued painting and drawing, including portraits of my friends. My college arts curriculum included a rigorous program in classical drawing and painting. My love of rendering detail in a realistic style became apparent. After graduating, I worked in Chicago as an illustrator and graphic designer. In a twist of fate, after moving to the west, my career took a turn, and for many years, I enjoyed a successful career in corporate marketing and sales management. However, at night, I continued to pursue my craft through advanced painting courses at UCLA. Soon, I returned full-time to my creative passion, which included portraiture. I live in Colorado, where the majestic and diverse terrain inspires wildlife, floral, landscape and still life creations.
The visual diversity that surrounds me celebrates a universal truth, my truth,
that the constant in life is change.
My work is collected throughout the US and abroad.
