About
In both professional and creative lives, I am inspired by the visual. I am a practicing optometrist and have treated patients at my office in Washington, DC for over twenty two years. In addition to my busy practice, I devote much of my free time to the artistic process, creating paintings and drawings with an emphasis on texture and it's interaction with color and light. Growing up, I've been inspired by colors, textures, and dimensions in paintings. The temperature, seasonal light, and the mood of the month greatly affect my work. While the issues of social justice and political tension are also implicit in my recent work, my love for the whimsical, including drawings of beloved pets and cartoon recreations for my loved ones are still very much a part of my creations.
