I am interested in the history of art, architecture, archeology, and natural history, as well as in their visual documentation in museum displays, illustrated atlases, and archival photographs. These inspire my choices for visual motifs and compositional strategies, which I try to explore through a playful and fresh painterly handling. –
I have a Diploma in Painting from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, a BFA from the University of Utah, and an MFA from the American University in Washington, D.C.. I was an art professor and department chair for many years at Marymount College (later part of Fordham University) in Tarrytown, New York, and have lived in Toronto since 2005 where I recently retired from teaching art at Upper Canada College. I have had many exhibitions in the USA and Canada in a variety of gallery, museum, and university settings.
