Artist Statement:
From a young age, I was always immersed in my thoughts about fantasy places, and in order to make these visions part of my reality, I used to make dimensional scenes as a hobby. This was encouraged by my family and they gave me a room for my hobby.
As an adult, I was fortunate to own a display company, where we designed and provided the major holiday décor programs for the shopping center industry here in the U.S. This was a very interesting career working with all the trades required to produce these large projects. It was also very rewarding to take these fantasy exhibits from the drawing board into the world of reality for shoppers to view and enjoy.
Now retired, I have the time to focus on painting and since I am in awe of the beauty of nature, I enjoy painting landscapes using acrylics as my medium of choice. Most of my works I create from memory or my imagination incorporating subjects I find of interest . This allows me to create a story in my mind of another place and moment in time while trying to capture a glimpse of it upon my canvas in a realistic manner.
In 2018, I decided I wanted to exhibit my art and since have shown widely in galleries here on Long Island in New York. Now I would like to share my art with a larger audience.
