extensively employed graphics as a communication method throughout my engineering career with the FAA and NASA. I have always been interested in art and design – previously and currently realized in – woodworking, travel, gardening, home construction projects, cooking, and photography.

I audited first formal classes in drawing and painting during the Spring of 2013 at George Washington University and have subsequently taken a variety of classes at various institutions in the area. I have experimented with a range of mark-making techniques including pencil, charcoal, oil, acrylic, digital and flame-on-wood panel. More recently, while continuing to pursue representational painting, I have been exploring abstract landscape with oils, acrylics, and cold wax medium.

I continue to intellectualize the challenges of drawing and painting and find that every instructor has an approach that can assist in my
development.
