I started as a child when I painted my very first canvas at the age of twelve. When I was fifteen I did my first large wall mural in High School.  At eighteen years of age I was offered my very first paid commission, two cheeta's on the plains of Africa.
Now seriously Involved in Fine Arts, My Oil Paintings are available at Art Auctions throughout New York. My paintings can be acquired at Art Auctions in Garrison, Coldspring, Rhinebeck, Millbrook , Locust Grove, Poughkeepsie, Rye and in New York City by Gallery owners who have purchased my paintings at these auctions.
 
I am delighted to be, along with my colleagues, a member of the New Hudson River School of Artists.

Just recently I have visited Paris and during my studies there, I was greatly moved with inspiration after paying visit to the Louvre and Musee D'Orsay. While staying in Paris I completed two beautiful paintings, along with one watercolor which you will see in my photo album.

Please check back, so that you may get the opportunity to see many other paintings from my Paris collection which will soon be added.. and also additional paintings of the Hudson Valley.
