Artist working with oil, wood and snow

Studios

I share a space in an art studio in Burlington Vt. I have developed most of my oil paintings here over the last 23 years. The box studio is multi faceted- functioning for me as a painting studio but for others as a photography shooting space, a recording studio and a place to hang and play games.

I also have a shop in a barn/studio where I can make frames and tackle creative projects in wood. This is a great space in Winooski (across the river from Burlington). Eventually I would like to develop this building in to a place where one can visit and witness the art created by myself and my friends. More on this as it develops.

Snow Sculpture

During the colder months I collaborate with a small team of carvers to create large shapes in compressed snow. Sometimes figurative, sometimes geometric these sculptures are fun to make and experience. Often the snow sculptures are made within the framework of a timed competition ranked by a panel of judges. We compete internationally, nationally and locally with a great community of carvers and every once in a while we will win a contest.
