“Every day I discover
more and more
beautiful things.
It's enough to drive one mad.
I have such a desire
to do everything,
my head is bursting with it.”
~ Claude Monet.
"Yes,
this is me, too,
I think."

Services
Art classes, tutorials, commissions*, and workshops for individuals and groups; (contact me for details and pricing). I work in a variety of mediums: monotypes, silver point, charcoal, oil, watercolor, pencil, and more.
I encourage everyone to find and develop their own therapies through art; everyone has hidden talents and potentials, and this is how we fix ourselves.
*Commissions
Individual portraits and artwork are as varied as the client's imagination. Pricing is individuated based on the type of the job, size of the job, and scale of the job. Send me your favorite photo and let's create the perfect artistic expression for you. Or touch base with me for more details.
Brief Bio
I hold a Masters Degree from the University of Warsaw in Cartography; was Geography Faculty member at the University of Warsaw for 23 years; participated in a scientific expedition to Mexico (Las Huastecas regional study) and Cuba from the Institute of Developing Countries (IKR), Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies, University of Warsaw; organized art exhibitions in Warsaw and Konstancin; and did graphic design for numerous academic publications.
Stateside, I trained at Silvermine Guild Art Center in New Canaan, CT, but my talents are naturally generational as I come from a family of artists. My work has been shown in regional galleries, most recently at the Art Center in New Canaan as part of their annual exhibition for local artists. I am an instructor of drawing and watercolor, I am a minister and teacher, and I am the current Vice President of the SLF Corporate Board, and member of the Educational Council.
Behind The Scenes / Making Of
~ Inspiration ~
"Loving Vincent"
A cinematic feast for the artistic sensibility.
Rendered in exquisite, hand-painted oil animation, "Loving Vincent" tells the story of a young man visiting the last town where painter Vincent van Gogh lived to deliver the troubled artist's final letter and finding himself investigating Van Gogh's final days there.

Don't forget that a commemorative commission makes a terrific birthday or holiday gift, and creates a memory that lasts a lifetime. Speak to me about pricing and details. :-)
