After a trip to Italy in 1973, my enthusiasm for art was rekindled and I resumed painting in earnest. In recent years, my work depicts realistic scenes of landscapes, partial landscape and portrait, and street scenes. My earlier paintings are the result of my travel in Europe, and now most recently, my travel throughout Long Island. I am a ''Fellow'' of the American Artists Professional League, Inc., New York, NY and a member of the Huntington Arts Council, Huntington, NY.
