I hope you enjoy your visit here. I am a contemporary realist, and paint landscapes, figural works, and still lifes that have strong composition and color and reflect my take on the world. I protect my collectors by never making or allowing copies of my work.

You first see a painting or drawing here as a thumbnail. A click on that takes you to an enlarged view. You have the option of clicking for further detail or a view of the piece I placed in a virtual room. Those were fun to do.

I offer works in acrylic on stretched canvas, with painted sides. A small number are oils or drawings. Those not already framed can be hung without frames. All are wired, ready to hang; I sign and date the back, offer free shipping in the USA, pack [see more]

I offer works in acrylic on stretched canvas, with painted sides. A small number are oils or drawings. Those not already framed can be hung without frames. All are wired, ready to hang; I sign and date the back, offer free shipping in the USA, pack carefully; and use FedEx home delivery or deliver in person in the New York metropolitam area.

I am a contemporary realist because I am infatuated with the way things look; my pieces show who I am in the way I render the work. One reviewer said, "The difference [with] her art is that she is able to add even more to what is already beautiful....To me her art "bolds."

I would be happy to arrange private showings by appointment in New York City.This next section is just a bio, so I encourage you to skip to the art work. But if you must, here is more data about me.

Prior to my art career, I was a professor at the School of Health Sciences, Hunter College, City University of New York. I authored four books, directed a masters program in health services administration, and pioneered courses in critical thinking and writing. That was another life!

Since I came back to my first love, painting, I have had solo shows in Manhattan and have been accepted to over 30 juried shows.

A profile of my figural work and the development of my palette appeared in American Artist Magazine, November 2002. A column about my Aquarium Series (In The Deep) appeared in Watermarks, Summer 2006. My painting, The Shell Monument, was the August selection in The Emerging Artists 2007 Calendar.
