Having spent my childhood in the Hudson River Valley and as a Connecticut resident for the past 27 years, I focus on painting landscapes of local scenes of New England and the East Coast.  Although largely self-taught, I have also had the privilege of studying with such accomplished painters as Albert Handell, Doug Dawson, Bob Rohm, Richard McKinley, and Clayton Beck
