I am so happy to be able to paint full time, after thirty years of painting and exhibiting while raising two children and working various part time jobs. I studied drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and completed a BFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2007.   I live with my daughter Julia and my son Will in Perkasie,  a small town about 35 miles north of Philadelphia.
 
For many years my habit was to spend two or even three months on one painting, trying to create an image without flaws. I've begun to realize that painting is not about the absence of flaws- painting is about being fully awake, and fully aware of a larger world outside yourself. At best it is an act of spiritual renewal.
