My paintings depict spaces and people captured via public Internet webcams. I am interested in technology’s impact on our public and private lives and the voyeuristic aspect of webcam media. I am also intrigued by my ability to depict situations “live” without physically being there. I like using this technology to put a contemporary spin on working with traditional mediums and subject matter such as portraiture, genre scenes and the landscape.

I live and work in Massachusetts. When not on my computer, I am either in my studio or teaching art courses at Bridgewater State College. Outside of my virtual travels, I have journeyed throughout North America and Europe. I have also taught art courses in Munich, Germany and Prague, Czech Republic. I have also attended pretty cool artist residencies such as the Atlantic Center for the Arts where I worked with Malcolm Morley.
