Born 1956 in Heidelburg, Germany. Grew up in suburban Maryland, married and moved to Palmyra Virginia in 1979. Bought a house in the country to raise vegetables and children before attending Virginia Commonwealth University, receiving a BFA in 1994. Has worked as an artist since.

Statement:  There is a realism about today that I am especially interested.  My attempt is to paint through realism the psychological truth of my subjects or some form there of. It’s a tricky course and very challenging, but one gets to be a good observer this way. There is much to paint.
