I am a middle school art teacher and artist living in Rockaway Beach, New York. I love to swim and work in the garden.

​

My work represents my reactions and my appreciation for the environment in its natural beauty, but not without representation of how urban life intrudes upon nature. Sometimes I find modern civilization coexists with the natural environment in ways that are humorous, harmonious, or sadly harmful.  My paintings, collages and prints draw from memory suggesting familiar and surreal scenarios.
