Artist Statement

I am a poet, artist, and emeritus professor (Holy Cross College, Sociology), living in Winchester.  I have long-term interests in place and landscape in American culture, concerns that often inform my visual art and poetry.

I have shared my drawings and paintings in exhibitions in Massachusetts and Florida, most recently at the Ann Smith Gallery at the Follen Unitarian Church in Lexington, Massachusetts and at a presentation at the Jenks Center in Winchester.  My poetry has been published in The Connecticut River Review, The Naugatuck River Review, The Healing Muse, The Unitarian Universalist World and other journals.   Much of my recent work seeks to combine word and image, exploring the varied ways that poetry and art may converse.
