About Me
Artist | Writer | Photographer
I've had a diverse career in sales and consulting for the document management, prepress and printing technology industries. Focused on technology in the service of education and languages, I went on to teach for many years. A graduate of Cornell University in History of Art and Spanish Literature, and of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, I am passionate about art, art history, literature, and horses—elements that are a constant source of inspiration.
In addition to writing, my creative interests include classical drawing and painting of the human figure and equines. I love sculpting horses, as well. I enjoy horseback riding and find that painting is like dressage on canvas; and dressage a painting of light and harmony on four hooves.
Moving between words and images feels so natural to me, that editing scholarly manuscripts or creating artist porfolios is as much fun as doing photo shoots and painting commissioned portraits for clients.
Contact me if you have a project in mind you'd like to discuss that involves editing and publishing, a portrait commission or a photo shoot. I've started accepting equine commissions in bronze, as well.
Currently, I am working on several projects, including a bronze equestrian group and painting scenes from my debut novel, House Key, which is featured on this site and available for purchase. Its sequel is in progress. . .

Portrait Commissions
I accept portrait commissions of persons and equines in oil and in bronze, as time permits. No project is ever the same, so please contact me with your ideas and an estimate of time and cost.
Photography Sessions
I enjoy shooting photo sessions for different occasion and events, ranging from children to seniors to horses and sporting events. Contact me if you hav a specific occasion or event in mind.
Sculpture
Creating sculptures of equines and equestrians from clay to bronze is an exciting process, which I am pleased to share as finished pieces available to purchase or as commissions.
Books
Writing books that are both education and inspiring, historical yet visionary in scope, is a fun challenge. Having completed the first of a trilogy of generational novels, I am working on its sequel.
