Artist Statement

Drawing and painting is in my blood. I went to college in Ma. 1979 majored in Fine Arts enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1984-1988 and finished a degree at U.S.F. in Tampa. After 17 yrs. as a letter carrier and always doing art on the side I felt it was time to persue a career with passion and enthusiasm. Although the economy has gotten tough and everything has changed I have no regrets. I love what I do and wouldn't have it any other way.

I have been doing art shows all over the U.S and although I have had art in galleries over the years I still prefer to avoid the gallery scene with its 50 % markup commission fee and sell directly to my customers and meet everyone on the road at shows.

Ft. Lauderdale, Coco Beach, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Naples, Key West, Sarasota, Jupiter, St.Pete, Tampa, Del Ray, Atlanta, Hilton Head, Ocean City Maryland, East Hampton, Montauk, Mystic, Narraganset, Hyannisport, Falmouth, Dennis, Gloucester, Bar Harbor, Pittsburgh, Portland Oregon,Issaqua Wa. Wennachee, Albany, Couer de Lane Idaho are a few places I have sold my work with hopefully many more to come. I have a nice 24 ft. r.v. with trailer and a cute pug

Thanks for looking at my portfolio
