READ HERE FOR FEEDBACK FROM the ITALIAN LANDSCAPE WORKSHOP 2008:
"I've been meaning to send you my thanks and appreciation for such an amazing experience in your Italian Landscape Painting workshop this summer. I keep coming back to the word "amazing" because the experiences covered so many aspects: the overwhelming beauty of the Italian landscape, the experiences of the towns we visited and stayed in; the experiences of staying in the monastery in Todi and the small bed and breakfast hotel in Casperia; the dining experiences; and the other members of our group. I also want to let you know how impressed I was with your ability to lead this multi-faceted expedition with class, equanimity, and flexibility. Travelling to Europe is now quite a financial investment, and I think your organization and execution of this workshop provided me with incredible value.
Additionally, as an "older middle-aged" art student, I have had the opportunity to experience quite a number of other university - level art instructors, and I think you are an excellent teacher. You challenged me, and enriched my approach to "seeing," drawing and painting. Your website offers this workshop for individuals of any experience level; among the other members of our workshop, there were various levels of experience, expertise, and motivation and I thought you treated each of us with dignity, encouragement and individually tailored instruction."

"....... It surpassed my expectations of what I thought it would be. You carefully chose excellent locations off-the-beaten-path that gave me the feel of being totally immersed in the Italian culture and its people. Thank you too for being so caring and kind and seeing to my every need to make me feel comfortable in a foreign land. You put my mind at ease more than once. Thank you so much for recharging my batteries and for giving me a fresh perspective on painting. It was nothing short of wonderful. The trip you put together was priceless. Grazie!"

Passionate, dramatic, and vivid are just some of the words used to describe my landscapes. The works have a very strong presence, whether due to dramatic shadows, strong compositions, or vibrant colors. These are landscapes that draw the viewer in to a heightened vision of color and gesture. They depict nature; but more intense; more lush, more dramatic. They go beyond traditional ideas of a green landscape. I tease out the complex colors of the landscape using layers of color, line, and form to build these vibrant paintings and drawings. The works are each a powerful moment from my travels in the everyday landscapes of our world.
