I began my pastel journey in 2008 by taking a pastel class
offered at the local public Library by Gregory John Maichack.
It was immediately after this that my passion for pastels began.
My paintings are influenced by the beautiful seascapes of Cape Cod, and the wonderful cityscapes of Boston, Massachusetts.
