I have a BA in Art History, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an MS in Film Production from Boston University. I also took various undergraduate courses at the Sorbonne and at Harvard University. I worked in television and film production in Boston, New York and Montreal as a cinematographer, writer and director and taught film production for many years at Concordia University in Montreal.

My formal training as an artist began in 1988 at the Visual Arts Center in Montreal, where I took a number of classes in drawing, painting and pastel. In 1995, I spent a month at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnston, Vermont on a partial work fellowship. In 2000, I moved to Florence, Italy for two years and studied classical realism at the Charles Cecil Studio and privately under Rebecca Harp. I am now doing ongoing, advanced figure study with realist master Irena Korosec in Montreal.

Currently, several of my paintings are on exhibition at Galerie Bohemiarte in Montreal. In 2003 I had a two person exhibition at Goldleaf Designs and Gallery in Chattanooga, Tennessee and one of my drawings was included in “Still Classical”, an international exhibition traveling to New York, Providence, Rome and Florence. Prior to that, I have had work on exhibition at Stewart Hall in Pointe Claire, Quebec, in Arts Westmount and at the Visual Arts Center in Westmount, Quebec.
