• Underground Painting

My journey as an artist starts in a rough corner of war-torn Liverpool, where I got my first job at an ad agency at age 15. It winds across the Atlantic to the U.S. and through an award-winning career as an Advertising Art Director in the midst of the Mad Men era and later as an Illustrator. It wasn't until I retired in Philadelphia that I turned to painting full time. That journey continues even today, as I work through my nineties. My work has been acquired by private and corporate collectors in Europe and the US, and exhibited at juried shows, including PAFA, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, Spectrum NYC and the Woodmere Art Museum. One of my paintings, a large triptych called "Expressway", was honored in the annual international competition of "The Artist's Magazine", and is now on permanent display in the Pennsylvania Convention Center Art Collection.
