Artist Bio

   One of nine children, I was born in Boston, and lived most of my life in New England.  I grew up in Westport, MA and have remained in and around the Southcoast area.

Although my interest and love has always been in art my career took a different path.  I worked for ten years as a computer software manager at Lotus Corporation and IBM in Cambridge and started the first quality engineering lab for Media 100, a digital video editing system.   After retiring several years ago I found the urge to paint still strong and so embarked on what I call my "third life". 

Much of my time and energy is now spent painting, mostly in acrylics and oils, studying other artist past and present and taking selective classes and seminars and workshops.
