THE
SUMMER HOUSE

|
My
logo, the pen and
ink drawing on this
page is a summer
kitchen and spring
house on a farm in the Oley Valley, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
I was impressed by
these two buildings because they reminded me of friendship
and
how people meet at
life's intersections.

Whenever
asked to submit a biographical sketch, I am often tempted to
make one simple statement -- "I love to paint."
My experience
as an artist, is one filled with exciting, challenging commissions,
and interesting people. I find pleasure in exploring a variety
of styles in order to express my feelings or capture a mood.
The images I create in my work frequently reflect the mood
swings that control my experiences as an artist.
Many people are curious about the variety of mediums that
I use to create my paintings. I enjoy painting in oil, acrylic
or watercolor. The medium I choose is determined by the effect
I wish to achieve in my compositions. From local landscapes
to imaginary impressionistic compositions, I am never at a
loss for subjects to paint. I work on location when possible
and rarely leave the studio without a sketchbook and camera.
My work brings me great joy and it can be very demanding as
well.
I constantly struggle to balance my time between the disciplined
hours of commission work and the pleasure of spontaneity,
painting the inspirations of the moment. Nevertheless, I am
fortunate to have a career doing what
I love to do -- paint.
