My first memory is of painting- at three years old. Having traveled and lived in the U.S. , Europe, India and Nepal, I returned to my childhood home of upstate New York ten years ago and have been developing a method of painting the “Spiritual Landscape” ever since.

My studio is in the upper Hudson river valley, in the Adirondack mountains of New York, an area which has inspired generations of artists.

My work, while based on a solid foundation of craftsmanship in drawing, has a growing emphasis on layering images to create alternative spaces.  Figures, natural forms, and abstract symbols interplay to create narrative, vibrant paintings, enriched with the architecture of nature and man.  I hope to convey a sense of the temporal, physical and emotional experience of being in a place.

“What distinguishes sacred art is the window it opens onto another world- a world that is vaster, stronger, more real and more beautiful than the world which we normally encounter.”
