About Me

I first picked up a paint brush and palette in the Fall of 2018; seven months prior to the start of the pandemic. As a self-taught artist, what started as a hobby, quickly became a source of much needed peace and solace; in contrast to the stress and uncertainty I experience in my practice of medicine.

I come from a family of artists. My father is a wood craftsman and oil painter. My mother is a master gardener and published author. My siblings and I grew up playing in fanciful gardens and sharing family holiday meals at a beautiful table constructed without the use of power tools. My youngest brother, Aaron, is an accomplished artist in oils and acrylics. To explore his work kindly visit his website. My brother, Ed, has inherited my father’s gift for woodcraft and has an exceptional imagination. My sister, Debbie, expresses her art through bridal design and alterations and my oldest brother, Jimmy, received four Emmys for his work as a videographer.

I am deeply grateful for the support of my family and a close circle of friends, especially my tech savvy ones, who have encouraged me to create and release my art into the world.
