I am an art director, creative team leader, and graphic designer with more than 25 years of experience building and leading an in-house agency. I am interested in creating work that makes things better—better for customers, better for readers, better for clients, and better too, for the people making the work. Looking good is just one part of any solution.

I am always on the hunt for a good composition. In my painting practice, I explore how light and color alter industrial architecture and urban environments, transforming them from banal and mundane to dramatic and emotionally evocative. I work from photographs I take while wandering New England’s fading mill towns and other urban back streets. My paintings are in private collections and have been exhibited at group and juried shows.
