Here I focused on portrait painting as well as continuing in my previous direction. My studies were interrupted for quite a few years when I married and started a family. I was able to again resume my education some years later, but I soon realized that my current interest was in sculpture. I was able to work under the direction of sculptor Duane Hatchett, who has had an influence on my work to this day. I have been fortunate to be able to support myself as an artist for the past 25 years.
Home is on the Vermont border in the Green Mountains of New York.
This is a place where I can enjoy a rural life-style, and the beauty of nature that surrounds me.
