Profile
I have a Masters in piano performance from Peabody Conservatory and good portion of my life has been devoted to the study of classical music. While in the Doctoral program, amidst teaching and a previous good fortune of recording a CD, disenchantment set in and perhaps a bit of dissolution…nonetheless clarity came back and I have relatively recently decided to paint (although music still dictates how I react to life). Paint, and its elusive properties, has confused me, which is good, and I look forward to continuing the exploration of its possibilties. At present I do not have alot of time to paint, actually have been keeping ridiculous hours so I have some time, but usually can add a new painting every 5 or 6 days. Feel free to e-mail me.
