My commitment to Art.
 

I cannot imagine a week going by without painting.
I count as most important, those individuals who have
purchased my art and live with my art on a daily basis...
These are the people who guarantee my success and whose
insight about my work has added to my energy and enthusiasm.

That is my intention — to paint. It is my intention to live the rest of my life as an artist whose art and life are inseparable. My serious professional life in art started in 1981. My education in the arts has been formal and informal, as has been my exhibition records. It included seeking further education and exhibition opportunity.  I am currently continuing my studies in portraiture at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
