Luminous Landscapes

I have always felt most spiritual when I am physically and emotionally enveloped by a landscape.

The mystical state of mind that these inspiring locales transport me to is what I strive to reflect in my painting.

For me, rather than merely documenting topography, painting is more about expressing the spiritual journey that the world of nature transports me to.


I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Cooper Union. While pursuing my career as a Creative/Art Director in the New York Advertising industry, I continued to explore my passion for Painting. I was a member of the Faculty at Parsons School of Design.

 

My solo shows include:

Heritage Gallery in Tarrytown, NY;  The Donald Gallery in Dobbs Ferry, NY; The Weisman Center in Delray Beach,FL; GardenArts-Sandhill Crane Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens; GardenArts-Palm Beach Gardens City Hall;  as well as a solo feature in the Premier 'Five by Five" exhibit at the Boca Museum Art School. 

 

In Florida, my paintings have been exhibited at:

The Boca Raton Museum of Art, The Cornell Museum, The Coral Springs Center for the Arts, Loxahatchee National Wildlife Center, Lighthouse Art Center, The Armory Art Center, The Rosen Museum Gallery, The Boca Museum Artists' Guild Gallery, Palm Beach International Airport Gallery, Sandhill Crane Golf Club, Palm Beach Gardens City Hall,  International Plaza Gallery, The Living Room Theater and Artists' Alley.

 

I am a Signature Member of the Boca Museum Artists' Guild.

 

My work is represented in Public and Privste Collections in the USA and Canada.
