NEWS!
Oh boy!  Nothing like pressure!  My last large solo exhibit ended at the end of January and by the time I finished all the administration for the exhibit it was April. My next show is in March of 2027, which is also a huge exhibit that will take over a hundred paintings. I'm working like mad to find my voice and produce good paintings. Click here to see the latest works and learn more about the exhibit. The beneficiary for this exhibit is the Nature Center at Greenburgh.
Come visit me on the 2026 RiverArts Studio Tour!  Saturday, November 7 (11 - 5 pm) and Sunday November 9 (12 - 4) at my studio at 23 Orlando Ave, Ardsley NY. I am hoping for your feedback on the new work. I will have the fan favorite 'Wall of Shame' where I happily display my perceived painting failures. If you think I am wrong and you like a painting it is free. I'm happy it will go to a good home. The Wall of Shame is always good for laughs and great conversation.  Beverages, wine and nibbles served. The RiverArts studio crawl is a multi-decades thing!

Experimenting and pushing the envelope - as always!
