My Bio

Contemporary (painterly) realist.  Born in the Bronx, NY.  Started my formal art ed. upon my discharge from the service in 1970.  Attended CCNY.  While there, was awarded the Colonial Dames Award for the Viet Nam Vet with notable accomplishments in the Art Dept. and the Silver Medal of the Royal Society of Arts of England.  My main mentor and friend was Joseph Solman, the great Expressionist.  We worked together for several years before I left NY.  

Over time, my style has evolved.  I've had shows in California and Arizona and have been represented in various galleries in both states.

Worked in seclusion for many (very many) years until  recently when I decided, at 64 years of age, that I should connect with the rest of the world.  

Scary.
