Children's Class
"I encourage the exploration of media, grounded in an understanding of the
fundamentals of drawing, color, and design. My personal experience as an artist and an
educator has convinced me that students respond to this approach and quickly find their
own means of personal expression.
"My work reflects a wide range of professional and academic experience. I have
worked as an illustrator for magazines, newspapers and book publishers. This experience
has involved representational drawing, portrait studies in oil, and work done in the areas
of etching and lithography.
"My work during the past ten years reflects a movement toward a less
representational approach to painting, drawing, and printmaking. I believe that
experience in a wide range of media serves to inform and enrich work done in any media.
"I have been influenced by the Abstract Expressionist painters of the 1950s and
1960s, and the work of the nineteenth-century English painter, J. M.W.Turner. I have
been equally attracted to and influenced by the New York movement of social realism
best represented by the Union Square Artists of the 1930s. While my primary influences
are related to these movements (among others), I am excited and connected to a wide
variety of contemporary work and try to view as many exhibitions as I can in the New
York area.
"I feel that my interest and experience in representational as well as more
"abstract" art has developed a broadened sensibility toward both my own work and my
personal philosophy of teaching."
