Take a peek into the world of an international award-winning artist and watch while colors come to life on canvas or learn to create at one of my color therapy art workshops.
My earliest memories are of coloring as a 3-year-old. I’m inspired and fascinated by color and nature. After studying art at Alfred University, I switched career paths and got a degree in business from CCC, a BS in marketing and an MS in liberal studies from ESC. I used my creativity for several years as Advertising Manager for Gannett Newspaper Division and later as Director of Corporate Relations for Johnson at Cornell.
I currently enjoy marketing consulting, teaching color theory, painting, and color therapy art workshops. I feel extremely blessed that I get to paint every day. My latest work is an exploration of the psychology of art from my graduate studies. I’ve studied how the brain influences how we perceive colors & images.
My painting process involves several layers of acrylic/oil on canvas or birch board, which is often emblazoned by metallic/iridescent overlays, gold leaf or mixed media. I often apply a clear coat of resin that offers the duality of sealing in the artwork while making the colors pop by reflecting light.
My paintings can be found in homes and offices all over the world and appear in several books on international contemporary artists. Paintings of different styles and sizes await your viewing.
