Balls	Inspired by two ceramic globes purchased at a landscape company where I conductd a workshop for the Endless Mountain Council of the Arts, I used round objects as my subject of the Balls Series.

Beer Bottles

I enjoy working with transparent and reflective objects as subjects in my paintings. The objects tell me stories as I work on them. " A Crowd Gathers" tells a story about an apparent accident. The other beer bottles are shocked.

Granny Smith

The subject of a 5 page article in the May/June 2002 issue of Pastel Journal Magazine, and featured in The book Pure Color: The Best of Pastel, the 29 paintings in this series explore the color green set in relationships with blue, orange and yellow backgrounds. The light source creates variations in the relationships of color and shapes. As with many of my paintings, the objects tell me stories which are reflected in the titles: "Granny Smith Big: On Stage shown has lighting that reminded me of a play on stage.

I have been painting still life in settings for a few years now.

Little Dancers	In the Little Dancer Series I have combined my love of portraiture with my love of painting the figure. I have been working with a local ballet school, the Joan Harris School for the Gifted and Talented. My last solo show at Something Special Gallery in Kingston, PA featured these works. The dance school sent dancers in costume for the reception.

FIGURES:	Of all the subjects I do, I enjoy working with the figure the most.	Opening Night pastel - 30 x 21	Dancers Resting pastel - 22 x 30

Looking Down

Working with the still life at my feet, in the Looking Down Series, I believe I achieved one of my goals in painting: to have the viewer see the abstract relationships of shapes while painting realism.

Oranges

I sometimes begin a series and pick it up a few years later. This happened with "four Oranges and a Blue Spoon which was done two years before the other. I enjoy the abstract quality of these paintings which obviously have realistic subjects.

I paint and draw custom portraits of people and pets from photographs and from life. I enjoy that moment when the work looks like the individual and also captures their special personality. Price depends on media: black and white (pencil, charcoal, etc) or color (pastel, colored pencil, oil, acrylic, etc) and size of the finished piece.

Yellow Mug

A little yellow mug with a black rim was the star of seventeen paintings which have won numerous awards throughout the country and in New York City. Most of the series was published in the books The Best of Pastel and The Best of Oil Painting and American Artist Magazine, June,2003.
