Biography

My history as an artist began by experimenting with oil paint, charcoal and pen and ink. My preferred medium is oil, painting seascapes and landscapes.  Currently, I have taken up photography.

I participated in oil classes at the museum school of fine arts in the mid to late 1980's.  I then enrolled in the Boston Architectural School at about the same time.  Later, I studied at the DeCordova Museum School and majored in graphic design at Northeastern University for two years.

Continuing my artistic journey ever since, I found a group called, "Artists without Borders."  As a member I engaged in discussions with mental health professionals who like myself, share an interest in art and find it an essential part of recovery and self-identity and discovery.  This group conveyed a sense of unity with professionals and clients without any boundaries or unrealistic expectations.

I enjoyed the position of co-chairperson of the painter's guild at the Lexington Arts and Crafts society.  Also, Senator Edward Kennedy was presented a piece of my art work for his dedication to the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health.

Presently, I continue to show my art at exhibits in the Boston area, and attend classes at the Lorraine deGroot studios in Arlington, MA.
