I am a fine artist working in oils, painting landscape, still life and self-portraits. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in English and subsequently received a Certificate from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1988, with a concentration in painting and printmaking. I also spent a number of years doing color landscape photography, working with a 4 x 5 camera and making cibachrome prints, but ultimately settled on painting as my medium of choice.
