Artist Bio

I must confess that I have wanted to be an artist for some time. I hope you
find my story interesting and perhaps even an encouragement for you to
explore your artistic interests.
I am a second-generation painter, as my father was a self-taught artist
and he loved to paint. I have no idea how many paintings he completed
during his life, but many family and friends have a piece of my father's
work. He only painted in oil and I recall the smell of turpentine and
linseed oil radiating from the basement where he painted in the old
house in Milford, NJ.
Thinking back to those early days of watching my father paint, today I
realize that was when the seeds of creating art were planted. Now more
than 50 years later, those seeds have begun to germinate.
A couple of years ago, I decided to follow my art interests in earnest.
Under the tutelage of Professor Mark Greenwalt at the College of the
Mainland, I began learning the craft of making ART!
My interests are varied and my medium is a combination of drawing in
graphite and pen and ink to painting in acrylics. Landscape and
cityscapes tend to keep me occupied and my artistic style is somewhat
impressionistic rather than realistic. Having spent many years working
with blueprints and engineering drawings, visual perspective comes
naturally to me and I think it is evident in my work. Being a curious person,
I’m now experimenting with a variety of presentation formats and painting
styles and I'm currently studying oil painting with the Galveston artist
Rene' Wiley.
Many of my pieces are available in limited edition Giclee prints. I’m a
member of the National Artist Society and a board member of The
Galveston Art League. You can find more of my work on my here on my
website
In addition to creating art, I'm also a professional picture framer. I spent
several years with the Michael's organization and Deck the Walls. Today I
frame my own art and provide framing services for a number of artists in
the Houston/Galveston area. My approach to framing is to present,
preserve and compliment the art not over power it.
In addition to picture framing I also manufacture a line of fine art 3D MDF
panels, giving artists an alternative to traditional canvas and paper
substrates on which to create their art.
