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.
