I have displayed my work through New Jersey at juried shows and local art fairs. I have gone to Laguna Beach, CA every summer since 1993 to work at the “Art-A-Fair” festival, first as an artist making 1/2 scale carousel horses. Realizing it costs a fortune to ship my work cross country, I now work on staff selling artwork of other artists. I take the opportunity to go on photo safaris throughout the southwest. I also visit the Rockies in Colorado a couple times a year and do more photography there.
As a member of the Center for Visual Arts of New Jersey, I display at their Annual Members’ Shows. In 2005, I was recognized with “Honorable Mention” for my “Weeping at the Tower of Remembrance” picture which I shot at the Shrine of St. Joseph.
In 2002, Smith-Kline-Beecham Pharmaceuticals used one of my World Trade Center pictures as part of a permanent memorial in their then headquarters in Jersey City overlooking the WTC site.
In a unique experience, an Amish teacher in PA invited me to photograph a school day, capturing the spirit of their culture. I had to be very careful not to photograph faces of the children or teacher. But what I was able to capture was something most people will never have the opportunity to do.
I traveled to Argentina on 2 occasions and photographed both the beauty of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires & Iguazu National Park with its 275 waterfalls.
I began a new way of displaying photography, as mixed media that is matted photographs painted with picture extensions onto the mat making a 3 dimensional effect. I call it “Outside the Box”. It has been well received by the public.
This led me to pursue painting original works on canvas. I do most of my work with acrylics but some paintings in oils and oil/palette knife.

The sky is the soul and light of a painting. So much that we think or feel can be described by the sky that we paint and the colors that we use. This workshop will focus on all elements of the sky… the power it holds to create mood, the way that it pushes and pulls space, the role it plays in supporting strong composition, and how to build it to create atmosphere. Just by changing the color of the sky, you can completely alter the feeling of a painting. Come explore it!

This workshop is for anyone who is looking to loosen up their paintings and learn how to “go with the flow.” Time and time again, we fall into the trap of careful mark making in the pursuit of the perfect painting. This workshop will throw all that out the window 🙂 We will learn how to allow our instincts and honest reactions to guide us through a painting built on paint flow and accidental marks. This workshop will be liberating and freeing for sure!

All well executed paintings are based on well-placed, simplified shapes that create interesting and balanced negative space. This workshop will help you see your composition in those terms and teach you how to build and refine those simple shapes to bring your painting up to the level of representation that you desire. Abstraction is a continuum and all strong compositions are based on its principles. We will explore how to use it to build your paintings. THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR ALL MEDIUMS
