Well, the below info is now out of date and geographically wrong.  We have moved to Sussex County, Delaware!
Same email address and cellphone numbers, though.
Looking for a studio in Delaware.

Hi!  Welcome to my studio page.  As of July 1, 2005 I have left my studio and the Montpelier Arts Center.   After having been here for five years, it is time to give someone else a chance to enjoy this location and develop their printmaking career.  A few photos to give you a feeling for where my work was done.  A beautiful setting on rolling green acreage in a rebuilt historic barn.  My studio was on the first floor, and I shared the printmaking area with five other printmakers.  Five years was long enough for me to launch my professional printmaking career.  Time now to let another use this same opportunity in this same way.
 
This has been the highlight of my printmaking career, having been able to work with so many wonderful people here.  Access to equipment, opportunities for shows in the galleries, and being able to focus my energies in a wonderful and creative setting.

Surprised to see paintings on my etching site? 
Most artists have more than one talent for art.  Good drawing skills are the necessary underpinnings of practically anything artistic that I and others do in their chosen area of pursuit.
My other areas include photography, pen and ink, pencil (graphite) drawings, silk screen, leatherwork, glass beadmaking (lampwork), scrimshaw, linocuts, collograph, acrylics, oils, watercolors, airbrush, whittling, writing, ham radio (KB3MXO), and the list goes on for a very long time. The world and life experience hold an endlessly fascinating font of interesting activities! Try them; you'll like them!! 
 
 Rose and I got a fused glass kiln, so watch for future results.  Fused glass is really cool stuff!

It is so absolutely wonderful to have had access to the space and equipments in this facility.  It has been a happy and productive time.  And the people here are truly nice folks..artists and non-artists (appreciators) alike.
