Looking back, I started drawing when I was in crayons and painting when I was 14 with the first acrylic paints I received for Christmas. Fast forward to college, and beyond, I began a professional career in Architecture. I loved the design process but soon realized that freehand Art was my passion. I dropped the limitations of building materials and building codes for the animation table, computers, drawing board, and an occasional canvas. I began pursuing computers and computer graphics out of my fascination with animation. I worked on many projects, including Saturday morning cartoons and animated commercial spots for Large screen displays at ballparks around the country. I moved from that to working in litigation animation on high-profile cases for the Department of Justice and the Federal Aviation Administration. My next stops were in television and included Art Directing several television stations from the East Coast to West Coast, including a large National Television Broadcasting Company based in New York City.

I waited until I was in my 40s to begin painting in Oils. That was well past my concentration in Aircraft Art, but the chase of painting full time just couldn't become a reality while supporting a family and raising my beautiful kids. I had to wait. Now I'm making the rest of the story starting with River Street Art, where I'm painting Portraits, landscapes, and many other subjects. Thank you for reading, and please add your name to my mailing list to be made aware of my new works of Art!
