My work is inspired by the grace, strength and beauty of the natural world. I search for a sense of balance and harmony that brings order to natural elements. I am interested in expressing an inner energy that leans toward symbolism and abstraction.
I am currently the Art Department Chairperson at Bay View Academy in Riverside Rhode Island, as well as a practicing artist. I received my Masters of Art in Teaching at Rhode Island School of Design and my Bachelor of Arts from Rhode Island College. My work has been exhibited in different venues throughout New England and is in several corporate and private collections.
