Journalist.
Following a 25-year career as a freelance writer specializing in travel and business, with articles published in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, and other national publications, I now write about my passions–art, nature and the environment and the history, people and socio-political issues of the local community–for Chronogram and other regional publications in the mid-Hudson Valley.
Artist.
My paintings and drawings have been exhibited at numerous galleries in the mid-Hudson Valley, including Carrie Haddad, the Living Room, New World Home Cooking, and The Storefront Gallery, and been selected for juried shows at the Woodstock School of Art and Woodstock Jewish Congregation.
Filmmaker.
Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal is a one-hour documentary film I conceived, wrote, co-produced and co-directed chronicling the destruction of the waterfront district of Kingston, NY, which was once a thriving port. The film has been shown extensively in the mid-Hudson region, Albany and New York City to enthusiastic audiences and garnered two awards.
Author.
I am co-author of Adirondack Style: Great Camps and Rustic Lodges, published by Universe Books, a division of Rizzoli, in 2011. The book features photographs by f-stop Fitzgerald and Richard McCaffrey and profiles 37 fabulous summer homes, known as Great Camps, in the rugged Adirondack Mountains, located in northern New York State.
