I was a fine art black and white photographer in New York for over 25 years from the 1970’s to the 1990’s and took advanced photo classes at the Parsons School of Design in NYC. I participated in numerous shows and received very favorable notices in the NYTimes and well as local Long Island publications. I have been visiting West Palm Beach since 1985 and I expanded my photo reportoire by taking a series of street photographs in a tongue in cheek mode of people on Worth Ave in Palm Beach. On Long Island, I did a similar kind of series, but with the ‘big hair’ and muscles summer crowd at two well known Southampton beach clubs.
Upon moving permanently to Florida in 2015, I took drawing and acrylic painting classes for 4 years with Craig McGinnis and Renata Rodrigues. My acrylic paintings are an extension of the kind of subject matter that I enjoyed as a B&W photography; namely the play of late afternoon light and shadow on architecture and landscapes, running from the more representational to the more abstract.
During the time of Covid, I took online portrait classes with internationally known portrait artist Alexander Newley. I took these classes both to increase my basic technical skills as well as to expand my capabilties to express the human form.
In 2020, a graphite self portrait was accepted for the permanent collection of the Ryan Licht Sang Bipolar Foundation in Chicago.
