About me: I am an artist residing on Long Island, New York. I've been exhibiting my work in outdoor festivals and galleries for many years, earning awards in landscape and abstracts in acrylics. For my abstracts I use colors and shapes to express my emotions and opinions. I've also taken a great interest in Oriental brush painting. I have a sensitive awareness of the simplicity in nature-things, often overlooked or taken for granted. Inspired by my surroundings, I've developed my own personal style capturing the essence of what I see. I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I did in creating it.
