Former New York Artist Now Paints Florida Waterscapes

ART BIOGRAPHY

At age six, I wanted to be an artist.
My second-grade teacher seemed bent on turning me into a writer-editor.
Is that why I've had a dual career in writing and art?!

I paint from my art studio in Gainesville, Florida. My paintings of nature and human nature are inspired by subtropical scenery and wildlife and people who appreciate the outdoors. I also produce uniquely painted eco art from palm bark and other natural materials, applying lessons learned from other cultures around the world and cultures of the past.

In the 1970s I served as Consultant in Ceramics for The Metropolitan Museum of Art and owned a clay studio and storefront by the Brooklyn Bridge. My sculptures were exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Arts and Design and the Yellowstone Art Museum in Montana.

I practice a daily meditation that supports, enriches and fills me with gratitude. My artwork is an effort to express those good feelings.
