Expertise
Painting, drawing, and printmaking.I have an abiding passion for the figurative and decorative art of the Renaissance and Baroque periods and have researched it extensively as part of my studio practice.

Research Interests/ Scholarship
The literature and imagery of mythology and religion express and give form to our desires and conflicts. As such I have found they are the perfect vehicles to explore my fascination with the human form.

Expertise
Landscape painting, art historical knowledge prehistoric to contemporary, commissions of home, boat or landscape portraits

Research Interests/ Scholarship
I traditionally work with acrylics, oils and watercolors to paint landscapes and abstract representations of nature. Photography also is an important medium and informs my painted compositions.
The IRB has recently supported my new research connecting art with sciences in measurable quantitative data. My study entitled "The Psychological Effects of Art-Making" will determine how art-making effects mind and body related to anxiety.
I continue to do research on my graduate school thesis entitled "Ritual Liminal Expressions" which explores the connection between repeated visual imagery and emotional growth.
