Welcome to my first official exhibition!
At 76, this is a milestone for me, one that was born from realizing that a staph superbug almost took my life a few months ago and that this worldwide pandemic has made all of us aware that life is too short to put off any longer the things we should have done a long time ago!

I love to paint what speaks to me, I have to have an inner feeling about it. I do not paint with the thought in mind of pleasing the viewer as everyone has their own perception of things and their own likes and dislikes. It only takes one person to like a particular piece because it works for them in some meaningful way for it to be worth the effort I put into creating it.

I hope you enjoy viewing the show, which is a gathering of many of my pieces from over the years and I hope you will share it with family and friends. Several pieces have been selected for exhibitions over the years, many hang on the walls of our school and in the homes of friends and family and some are for sale. If you are interested in one for yourself or as a gift for someone special, please feel free to contact me.
