About
I am a representational artist whose favorite medium is oil, although I enjoy small studies in gouache. I paint ‘en plein air’ when I get the chance; winters are usually spent in the studio further developing plein air studies and creating still life and figurative paintings.
Artist Statement
My first exposure to oil painting was at the age of 12 and I never lost my fascination with art and oil painting in particular. After living for several years in Italy and Manhattan, New York, I currently reside in northeastern Pennsylvania. In between family and work obligations, I painted whenever possible and was finally able to devote myself full-time to my art in recent years. I love to experiment with the effect colors have on one another. The variations of natural light that are found when painting outdoors, immersed in nature, make painting ‘en plein air’ my favorite activity. All artwork brings me joy and challenges me to never stop observing, experimenting, and growing my painting world.
