Most of my professional career was spent as an Art Director with Houghton Mifflin Publishing Company, where I won numerous awards from the Boston Art Directors Show. During that time, I also freelanced with ad agencies along Newbury Street in Boston.

Upon retirement from business I resumed my Fine Art studies at Massachusetts College of Art, where I studied with Janet Monifo and Paul Rahilly. I now study privately at The Villa in Newton with Ed Stitt, a noted Boston painter, and have exhibited and sold my work annually at the Newton Open Studio. Having lived all my life on the North Shore of Boston and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I now maintain a studio at my home in Massachusetts.

Philosophy
My aim in painting is to seek out and paint those subjects that interest me because of their qualities of line, form and color. In my paintings, I will often change and arrange forms to suit my sense of order and harmony. I believe this desire to control and create order in our environment is innate within us all, and that art is the one magical place where we are completely free to make this happen.

I rely on direct observation for color, and I attempt to duplicate and capture faithful color in all my paintings. It's my belief that nature will always provide me with unimaginable color, and it is the pursuit of unimaginable colors, and the rewards it brings when this has been achieved, that provides me with energy that I put into my work.
