At age seven I was gifted a Brownie camera and began taking photographs. At age 11, I studied oil painting with Naomi Fink, a realist oil painter who copied the work of the Master Painters to perfection. I was given copies of paintings to copy which enhanced my technical skills but did not encourage creativity. My J.H.S. and H.S. art teachers encouraged me to create my own art and said I had a lot of potential. As an undergraduate at Brooklyn College I took a wide variety of classes but chose painting, drawing and photography, as my majors, and in 1971, received a B.A. in Art Education. I received an M.A.T. in Art Education at the University of Massachusetts in 1973, where I studied painting and printmaking. In 1979, I received an M.F.A. in printmaking and photography from The George Washington University. Having taught art for many years, I retired in 2013, and returned to pursuing painting, drawing and photography. I studied watercolor painting with Howard Watson and Marcia Weikert. My subject matter includes nature, landscapes, cityscapes for which I use watercolors, and for portraits of people and animals, I use graphite, and colored pencils. My work is realistic in style. I always have my camera available to capture photos of the world around me. If you are interested in having a portrait done please contact me.
Graphite and Colored Pencil Drawings
Portraits can be drawn in a variety of sizes either in graphite or colored pencil. The portrait can be drawn as an 8" X 10", 9" X 12", 11" X 14" or larger if requested. Sizes and prices, which are fair, will be determined when we discuss your portrait need. Photos are required for portraits. Paintings
I would be happy to create an original painting by request if desired.
Glicee copies of my paintings, are printed on fine paper and look exactly like the originals. The price of a 16" X 20 " glicee is $150.00. Other sizes are available as well. Originals are not for sale. Thank you.
