Born - 1953
1973-1976 I attended the School of the Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, MA where I was introduced to modern art, traditional painting techniques, design and color theory.
1977 through February 2014 I worked construction, helped to build a riding facility with my wife called Holiday Acres Equestrian Center in Rutland, Massachusetts, and raised a family of 8 children.
2014 February to the present - After 38 years, I have returned and devoted myself to oil painting full time as a professional artist, working in the traditional manner of painting with oil colors on a daily basis. My focus is primarily still life painting which has been heavily influenced by the Netherlandish painters of the Dutch Golden Age during the 17th century.
