I am excited to announce that I will be having my artwork displayed in the Members Group Show at the Tyler Park Center for the Arts for a full month opening on Friday, March 19, 2023 . Art has been my life passion, despite having had launched a second (perhaps more practical) profession in architecture, and while also having become fascinated by musical composition as an essential mode of creative and therapeutic expression. My committment to a life-sustaining ecology pervades my “sketchbook” approach to draw from the natural evironment in a manner practiced by artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Albrecht Durer, Antonio di Pucci (Pisanello), and Rembrandt Van Rijn.
