I have many years of artistic experience, beginning with receiving a BFA in illustration, painting & graphics from Mason Gross School of the Arts (Rutgers) in 1988.
    Since then I've continued to expand my visual art career. I enjoy creating fine artworks for exhibits & also respect the artistic needs of my clients, striving to create work that will make them happy. I currently exhibit around the country, and am represented by galleries in NJ & MA. Creating from my personal experiences, which includes traveling and shooting photos that depict the essence of a particular place, is something I continue to explore and I've also been commissioned to create paintings, illustrations, graphics, marketing/promo materials and photography for clients from across the US & abroad. The medium I use depends on the project; I work with photography, oils, acrylics, watercolors, pen & ink, & computer graphics (Photoshop, Corel Draw).
    Illustrating for crafter & greeting card companies, publishers/authors and historical organizations is another way I earn income doing what I love and I have extensive experience in marketing/fundraising as well as creating marketing and promotional pieces for medical offices, non-profit organizations and small businesses. I pride myself on meeting deadlines, keeping in regular communication with my clients, being able to work in my own studio in an organized fashion and producing work that pleases my clients & collectors! Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
    I look forward to working with you!
