Born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I attended Franklin and Marshall College, where I majored in fine art and art history. That experience enabled me to earn a Master of Architecture at the University of New Mexico. Now, after 40 years of successful architectural practice and retired since 2020, I am resuming a life-long dream as a fine artist.
My architectural design was characterized by simple geometry, form and visual simplicity and the important relationship of positive and negative space. My architectural training and practice have an unmistakable influence on my work as an artist. I am inspired and influenced by the pure light, strong form, varied textures, vibrant color and most importantly by the dramatic contrasts of the southwestern landscape--blue and orange skies, green and red earth, yellow vegetation and purple shadows. With a passion for drawing, I introduce line to create movement and direction and as contrast in scale to simple planes and forms. I revel in color and its ability to elicit emotion. I strive to create simple, memorable and emotionally charged imagery.
