I enjoy teaching workshops and private classes in landscape and studio settings, passing along lessons from others, and allowing myself, to continually learn. When ever I walk or drive anywhere, I "see" as if I’m designing a painting. I’ve got "Crow’s Feet" from squinting my eyes and simplifying details to shapes. "Seeing".

   I hope I, as well, can pass that along.

   My eyes have changed. Puerto Rico has been a visually inspiring location and a life challenge. There are "sites’ that resemble other places. Monhegan Island, Maine, in example, is so much like Alaska, and also many similarities to Vieques, Puerto Rico. The sun creates it. I have been very fortunate, where ever I am, in learning to listen and feel … as well as to "see", artistically.

The truth lies in nature. Painting from it, is pure emotion. Everyone has the capacity for creation in some form.

Thank you to all my fellow artists, friends and patrons in helping me to learn.

Every artist deserves support and recognition.

"Every artist has her or his own approach. There are no rules, once fundamentals are understood. "Style" is your own. Whether it’s Photo Realism, or Abstract Expressionism , go to and trust nature first. I find being on location, stimulates a spontaneity and freshness, unique to it’s self".

I am enjoying painting in my ever evolving "style"… and hope to always learn more with practice, and age.

I use the palette of, Emile A. Gruppé, and bow to those who have influenced me.

"People think, "perfection" is the greatest art. But who can draw the perfection of nature? If you really want perfection, you could spend your whole life on one picture. You’d never get in every detail. There would always be more to do. It doesn’t matter if you stop halfway to perfection…I stop when I’ve said what I want to say.".
