A circuitous route from anthropology and folklore, through my 18 year career in goldsmithing and hand engraving has brought me to my original love of painting. The learning curve is steep as I acquire techniques from past and current masters. I owe much of my understanding to my mentors: Adeline
Goldminc Tronzo, Stan Moeller, Marguerite Robichaux, Holly Alaimo, my son Benjamin, who has a discerning eye, and to my painting collegues.
