I attended Cleveland Institute of Art for several years and graduated with a
BFA from Ohio State University. I have been a medical illustrator for over
20 years, illustrating anatomy/surgery textbooks and doing drawings for
medical malpractice trials. I did graduate work in portrait painting and have
enjoyed photography since college but only renewed my interest around 4
years ago when I started exhibiting my work at the summer art shows and
several galleries.
I am past president of the Medina County Art League and a current trustee
of Medina County Arts Foundation.
As a medical illustrator, I am used to doing precise and detailed illustrations
using guache, colored pencils & pen and ink. To achieve more artistic
freedom I am doing nature photography, enhanced and manipulated via
brushes, filters, etc., in Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw and various other
programs. Composition and design elements are more important to me
than the actual subject matter. I also have a fascination with textures,
unusual lighting and perspectives. My eventual goal is to reduce the photo
to a more fundamental form and try to blur the boundaries between the
actual subject and the abstract, thereby creating a unique look.
