Since 1996, I have been a professional fine artist and up to January of 2009, had devoted my career to painting full time. Recently, my focus has been on learning the highly technical medium of commercial photography. Prior to '96, I co-owned and operated an advertising and sign company for over seventeen years. Currently my work is done in my studio and beyond. The nature that surrounds me in the NJ Pines and my new found medium inspires my work. A strong connection with animals and nature has been evident over the past years and through thousands of paintings. My philosophy of spirit, who I am, and who I strive to become, is woven into my work. And yes, it is work. I believe to be good at anything requires desire, dedication and countless hours of just doing it. When you love what you do, work and play are the same though.

Collectors of my original paintings can be found throughout Canada and the US. Commissions are always welcomed to create specific works for individuals and organizations. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration from Moore College of Art and Design and also attended The Art Institute in Philadelphia. Having studied watercolor with many nationally known watercolor masters including those from the E.A.Whitney, Brandywine and New Hope Schools has given me roots that are strong in the American Art Tradition. I currently provide uplifting, motivational and instructional content in various free online communities. Speaking engagements, demonstrations, workshops and illustration work for the web and print also keep me busy.
