I specialize in contemporary oil and acrylic paintings. I’m partial to landscapes and still life because those subjects lend themselves to stories. I’m inspired to paint everyday life and I’m especially fascinated by the way light falls on a subject with the resulting shadows and variations of color. I try to show energy, vibrancy and movement by depicting strong shadow and light. I hope that each of my paintings engages the viewer with something to say allowing him/her to come away with an enlightened vision of the subject. This year, I’ve been concentrating on landscapes of such beautiful sites as the Washington Cherry Blossoms and Western Maryland waterfalls.

I’m a member of Artists on the Green, 776B Walker Road, located in the Great Falls Village Centre. Artists on the Green is a consortium of six artists who came together to form a studio and gallery. The studio provides our members a place to be creative, to paint and to display their completed work, usually for sale. The studio also functions as a classroom where various artistic techniques are taught. During the tour, you’ll be able to see our creative process as you watch us paint. And, you’ll view majestic landscapes, colorful still life and striking abstracts all created by studio members.

Artists on the Green is conveniently located in the heart of Great Falls Centre easily walkable to other art galleries, four great restaurants and an ice cream parlor.
