Having spent my childhood in the Hudson River Valley and on the south shore of Long Island, and as a Ridgefield, CT resident for the past 26 years, I focus on painting landscapes of local scenes from those areas. I have had the privilege of studying plein air painting with renowned pastel artists Doug Dawson, Christine Debrosky, Stanley Maltzman and Bob Röhm.
