I was born in New Hampshire in 1945. I received my formal art education at the New England School of Art and the Boston Museum School of Art. A veteran of the Vietnam era, I painted murals for the United States Army. While continuing to develop my skills in the 70’s & 80’s, I worked as an art director for corporations in California, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Florida. During that time I also performed as a singer songwriter.
“ To be an artist is to always be learning.”
Working with a palette knife and thick full bodied Golden Acrylic paint keeps my paintings very loose and bright. This also adds to the cheerful, lighthearted and optimistic feelings of the every day life portrayed in my work. Winning many awards and much critical acclaim, my paintings hang in galleries, private collections, corporate offices and government buildings.
