I am an artist, as well as a web/graphic designer. I have a range of experience in the arts, from painting commissioned portraits to working as a web developer. I have worked in various professional settings, from small business to a large corporate office, and am experienced working with a variety of clients. I am originally from the New York area, but now reside in Carrollton, Virginia. I graduated with a BA in Art from Messiah College in Pennsylvania in 1992. I am now pursuing my art full-time as a painter and web designer.

My paintings and photographs depict different impressions or moments of time I see during my travels, or during memorable times spent with people. I love traveling, both to local destinations, as well as to other countries, and documenting what I experience with my camera. Some of my photos stand on their own as art, and others provide me with reference material for creating paintings. Visiting locales such as New Zealand and Europe have been particularly inspirational for me.
