“I was born to art, drawing as early as I could pick up a pencil, and took lessons throughout my childhood and all during high school, along the way falling in love with watercolor.
Other interests, however, led me to become a professional historian, to a professorial career at Queens College, CUNY, and to expertise on the origins of the city planning movement in the United States. At retirement, I returned to watercolor, an endlessly fascinating and complex medium. I paint what most attracts me: landscapes, cityscapes, highways and flowers.”
