I am a self-taught artist with a passion for painting colorful works of art.

To quote Jeff Goins, "The job of an artist is to offer a sanctuary of beauty to an ugly world." That is the "Why?" of my story as an artist. I want to create beautiful artworks that offer respite from the difficulties of life and momentarily lift your spirit.

In 2022, I began a new adventure learning and painting non-objective art, a type of abstract art that is usually, but not always, geometric and aims to convey a sense of simplicity and purity. I have combined this style of painting with my passion for flowers, floral and organic shapes.

I also ventured into creating digitally remastered and embellished vintage wall art as downloadable art prints.

I invite you to take a few moments to browse my Etsy Shop listings, "Favorite" ones that you like, and/or consider purchasing my art prints to display in your home or office.

ABOUT ME

To quote Auguste Rodin, "The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with (her) him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards (her) him."

I have spent the majority of my life working and living in three of the largest cities in the United States. Concrete, pavement, brick, brownstone, steel, over-crowded streets, mass transit and grid-lock was the norm.

Flowers gave me release from stress after my daily commute to work. At the start of each workweek, I bought myself a large bouquet of flowers to place in a vase on my desk at the office. Glancing at them during the day and smelling their floral scent was a delight.

Now that I am retired from my 9 to 5, I find joy and fulfillment in painting colorful floral and non-objective abstract works of art.

To quote Terri Guillemets, "A flower's appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect."
