I try to capture the feelings of light-filled moments in special places that, to the viewer, feel familiar to their heart, even if they may never have been there before. I want viewers to feel invited into the painting - that they can stroll in that garden, walk down that lane, sit by that sea, or reach out to that flower. More recent explorations into abstract art reflect luminous light and color. I am a self-taught artist, discovering only late in life the amazing feeling of putting brush to canvas and being surprised by the result. I currently serve on the Board of the Vienna Arts Society. I regularly exhibit and sell my work and have won numerous prizes and honorable mentions.
