About the Artist:
Creating visual images that invite self‑reflection and ignite the healing process is at the heart of my artistic purpose. As a Vietnam‑era U.S. Navy veteran, I find profound meaning in guiding therapeutic art groups within the veteran community, where creativity becomes a bridge to resilience, connection, and renewed inner strength.
My work has traveled far beyond the studio—appearing in interior art installations, restoration projects, and national venues including Dulles International Airport, the Library of Congress, and New York’s historic Salmagundi Gallery. Each piece is created with the intention of awakening the senses, honoring lived experience, and offering a visual language where words often fall short.
