I went to Syracuse University on a full time art scholarship. Upon graduation, I subsequently obtained a Master of Divinity Degree from Yale Divinity School and a Ph.D. in Social Science from the Maxwell Graduate School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. Consequently, my professional life was as a pastoral minister and then Director of the Mediation Center of Rochester for 26 years.

Although I have painted over all my life, it is only in recent years that I have seriously re-entered the world of art. With most of my time now devoted to painting, I am anxious to expand the scope of my art. Currently, my work has been in galleries in Rochester, etc.
