Welcome

This web site displays most of the paintings I have done to date and a few drawings. In general, newer paintings are placed last in each portfolio.

Portfolios include: Portraits of Animals and People, Land and Seascapes, Historical Paintings, Still Life and Flowers, Spiritual and Fantasy and Drawing and Illustration. I continue to create paintings and drawings in all of these genres.

Currently I am working on a series of historical paintings, sponsored in part by a grant from the Martha's Vineyard Center for the Visual Arts. The entire series will be exhibited in New York this July and August in a one woman show at the Mabee Farm Historic Site.

New projects include a portrait of Frederick Douglass for the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, work on the "18th Century NY Prominent Players" historical painting and portrait series and paintings for Featherstone's "Lucy Vincent Beach," a Mixed Media Exhibit Opening April 21 - May 8th.
