I work with a traditional palette with prismatic and earth tones in an expressionist manner. My subjects and shapes are a vehicle for color. Next to color and texture, animals, especially horses, are a large focus in my subject matter. I work mostly in a medium to large format, but also create smaller paintings in between the bigger artworks. My color has been described as "jewel tone". I paint mainly in acrylic and also work in charcoal for preliminary studies. My compositions spring from memory and imagination with a foundation in observing life and anatomy, and formal training from The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Moore College of Art, and many Philadelphia area art associations.
