My work has been featured in solo shows throughout the Cumberland Valley, in juried national competitions and in membership exhibitions with the Franklin County Art Alliance and Penn’s Woods Printmakers. My paintings and drawings are in the permanent collections of Summit Health, F&M Trust Company and Gettysburg College, and my work was the subject of a feature article in American Artist Magazine in April of 2004.
I have also served as a strong advocate for the arts in south central Pennsylvania, especially through my work with the Council for the Arts of Chambersburg and the Franklin County Art Alliance. I have worked as a guest curator and juror for art shows throughout the area and as a panelist for the PA Council on the Arts.
