I have always loved nature’s beauty and mankind’s structural accomplishments and I try to convey that love in my paintings and drawings. I attended the Philadelphia College of Art for advertising art several years ago, but my best learning experience was in an oil painting class one summer a couple of years ago after I retired from the corporate world.

I now devote much of my time to drawing, painting and photography. In my quest to perfect my painting style, I study the light and shadow techniques of the masters. I draw from life and then usually photograph my subject matter in detail. I then paint in my studio and often change the light of the day (or change day to night) to fit the mood or drama that I am trying to obtain.
