Those who know me, know that I’m an odd duck. I’m 50% right-brained and 50% left-brained. I’m not sure if that makes me a scientific artist or an artistic scientist! But, from a young age, my love for both art and science began to flourish and this website is the culmination of 41 years of honing both of those passions. By day, I practice medicine. By night, I draw and paint. I love studying the body — both its function and its form. How does it work? What happens when it’s not working well? How do I make it better? and How do light and dark affect how the body contours appear? If you move the light source, how does that affect how each contour appears?

I also love to paint visual narratives that have an emotional impact. Whether I am painting about my hearing loss, or about being a survivor, no matter the theme, I seek to evoke the powerful emotions that often accompany us through our life experiences. These paintings are usually abstract in nature, but may also have an atmospheric feel to them.

I work mainly in acrylics, but often add other elements on top of a painting to enhance the telling of its story. Other mediums include chalk, ink, paper, photography, or modeling paste.
