Outdoor "plein air" and alla prima, with strong light and dark contrasts to accent subject, painted in a loose, impressionist style. Acrylic canvas board.
After a long career as a graphic designer and art/creative director with an MBA in marketing, I am now primarily focused on my first love, painting. From still life to landscapes to figures, I paint in a modern impressionist style utilizing both oils and acrylics. My simplified, yet realistic renderings emphasize the transformative effects of color, light and contrast in painting. From Martha’s Vineyard, I studied art in Lacoste, France and at the Art Institute of Chicago earning a BA in Studio Art with Honors at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.
