This August I am teaming up with Michael Schweigart for a 2-man show of our "Wanderings & Wonderings". The show runs August 9 - September 2 at Artists' Galleryin Lambertville, NJ, with an opening reception on Saturday, August 11 from 5pm to 8pm.




 For the past few years, my inspiration for painting has come from hiking trips where I enjoy wandering the forests and mountains or northern New Jersey, and I continue that theme in this show.



My work in this show focuses on 2 main locations: the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which I never tire of exploring, and the Sourland Mountain much closer to home - literally my back yard.

Mike Schweigart's work shows more signs of civiliation, as he paints scenes along the back roads of coastal Maine, eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I think I'm more of a wanderer, Mike is more of a wonderer. Together, I think we put on a good show.




This is the most work that I will have on display at any one time this year, so I hope you get a chance to stop by and see the show.

"Wanderings and Wonderings" runs August 9 through September 2, with an opening reception on Saturday, August 11, 5-8 pm at:

This winter we're doing something a little bit different at Artists' Gallery. Instead of our traditional group show with all 16 artists, we're featuring 4 artists each month over a 4 month period. In January I will be one of the featured artists along with Beatrice Bork, Maxine Shore and Bill Jersey.

I'll have a mix of older and newer work, with some new things I've been trying recently. I hope you get a chance to stop by and see the show.
