I studied Art many years ago, but didn’t pick up my brushes again until after I retired as a Registrar with Fairfax County Public Schools.

I usually paint in a contemporary realist style and my love of color shines through in many of my paintings. I always want the viewer to be aware of the hand of the artist. I don’t want my painting to look like a photograph…that’s why we have cameras! My inspiration comes from many different sources, which results in varied subjects. Lately I’ve been delving into abstract painting – a new way of expressing myself through my Art.
