Hello Friends and Art Lovers,

Welcome to my new website!   I hope you will enjoy viewing my paintings and exploring the Williamsburg Art Gallery online store, through which my paintings are available for purchase.  We have just gone through a busy couple of months leading up to the closing of our physical location on Merchants Square. We want to thank so many people for their kind words and expressions of sympathy about how much they will miss the gallery.  It was a bittersweet decision to move to online-only but I became acutely aware that an artist truly needs plenty of time to create and paint and that it is simply not possible to also run a 4,000-plus square foot gallery with up to forty artists at the same time.  The three years of the gallery were exciting times during which we hosted over fifty events and exhibited the work of more than a hundred painters and sculptors from all across America and several foreign countries.   

Now, a new chapter begins.  I want to first thank my family and especially our daughter and son-in-law, whom we fondly have referred to as ‘our IT department in San Francisco…:-), who have done so much to create and maintain our gallery website. I invite you to view our online store at www.wmbgartgallery.com.

I am currently traveling in Istanbul and along the Aegean coast.   I love everything which has to do with sandy beaches, transparent seas and sunshine every day!   I will also visit art galleries and explore new places in search of inspiration, looking for new subjects to paint.  Then upon my return, I will really be looking forward to painting again on a regular basis

I want to wish you an enjoyable continuation of your summer holidays and look forward to seeing many of you in Williamsburg or chatting ‘virtually’ online with you later this Fall!
