About the Substack

Besides being a painter, I'm an addicted writer. I write articles for magazines -- mostly art magazines -- but also essays, poetry and, of course, I keep a journal. (I've been keeping it for 50 years now.)

Painting to See

I've been a pro artist for nearly 25 years, and I've learned a lot along the way. In Painting to See, I'll share what I've learned -- and since I'm still learning, you can expect to learn along with me! Also news on workshops, retreats and books.
