NetWorks Rhode Island and the Chazan Collection Exhibition, WaterFire Arts Center (2024) Bio:
I am a painter who has lived and worked in Providence Rhode Island for the past fifty-five years. I received my BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1971 and my MFA from RISD in 1973. My paintings have been in the form of two series: one of self-portraits and the other of landscapes, both interior and exterior, which act as secular altarpieces. Having fixed subjects has allowed me to submit one vision fully to time, light, and mood so that there is a scientific, as well as a spiritual, element.
