Featured Sketch “Winter Scene”
In the sketch “Winter Scene“ I am showing a quiet winter study built on restraint. A simple, limited palette lets soft washes recede into layered hills, creating depth without excess detail. The snow is shaped through negative space—suggesting texture, light, and atmosphere—while a few warm accents anchor the scene.

Biography
Growing up as one of six children in suburban Chicago I found freedom and adventure on my bicycle and solitude while reading. The balance of action and introspection broken only by my dry sense of humor, carried me thru Catholic Grade School and Private Prep School. I worked my way through College, had a career, and with the help of my very supportive family and friends I manage to stay very active.
