--- I am primarily a self-taught Artist with a background two other careers --- Television (as a Producer and Film Editor) and Law (as an Attorney).
In 2004, I began studying ART -- enrolling in several evening classes at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA. My ART education has benefited from the guidance of a Mentor; Art Colony classes; Workshops in watercolor; annual Art Fairs; and Art Exhibitions in the Midwest and out-West in the USA.
In 1991, a chapter of "The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences" presented an HONOR to me as the Film EDITOR of an EMMY AWARD winning news report, that aired on a PBS station. Two decades of experience as a film EDITOR and PRODUCER of TV shows required creativity that (today) informs my work as a Painter. ---
Since 2009, I've worked from my Home Studio in the Midwest where I paint Abstract-realist and Expressionist paintings on large canvases (50" x 50") and smaller (9" x 12") fine art papers.
My paintings have been exhibited in Art Fairs and Shows (international and regional); in the formal dining room of THE ANGAD ARTS HOTEL...located in the art district of St. Louis, MO; and in a client's West Village apartment of a New York City Interior Designor (see large floral painting on Ms. Cary Jones' website

I continue my independent study of Art History and techniques of drawing, collage, and painting. Recently, I completed online sessions of INNER ENGINEERING - presented by SADHGURU, a Yogi Mystic and Visionary. As a result, I'm learning how to focus within, and this informs my artwork in very positive ways.; see - https://www.innerengineering.com/

-- acrylics on stretched canvas and fine paper. -- I use gouache, sumi & acrylic ink, watercolor, and hand-made papers to create geometric forms in the compositions.
-- my INSPIRATION to create paintings starts with my observations of Earth's natural habitats; her wildlife; cultures of indigenous people -- my Ancestors --- Black, African, Nanticoke Lenni Lenape etc.; and an appreciation for Life that exists throughout the Cosmos.
I create Abstract/ Expressionist paintings... on large canvases and smaller, fine art papers.
