I currently live in North Carolina, United States as a father, husband, son, brother, teacher, coach...and (oh yea) Artist!
I grew up in New England surrounded by creativity in my parents. My father
was almost always painting with whatever free time he had. I admired what he
did. For him, art was a hobby and an interest that he shared with myself and
many of my 5 siblings. I am also lucky enough to have a mother who is equally
as creative. Her creativity blossomed, literally and figuratively, in the
garden. That influenced me as well.
I took both passions and followed my love of precision and the aesthetic with me to college and studied Landscape Architecture. It was in this discipline and career that I thought I could combine my love of art and the outdoors.
In 2006, I was introduced to fine art by my father and started my collections of works in acrylic, pastel, and mixed media.
Primarily
self-taught, I studied techniques, styles and color theory from Master Artists
of all genres. I believe the beauty of a painting is in its creative
thought, effort/technique and the viewer’s experience. This belief is evident
in my artwork that displays creative visual movement, strong compositions and
unique color schemes. I have been teaching, demonstrating and exhibiting
nationally and internationally, successfully conveying the Strategy of Design
for a Painting. I've had the honor of being featured in Pratique des Arts Magazine, Pastel Journal,
Artist Magazine, Horticulture Magazine and The 2010 Best of Worldwide Landscape
Artists Book.
