"chair stillife" Painting

i was born in n.j. ....and currently live in newport, rhode island.

i have been painting professionally for forty years.
as a child, i always excelled in art and dreamt of having a career as an artist.....i have been strongly influenced by the abstract expressionists. many of their paintings evoke a tremendous emotional response from me.
i hope to do the same in my paintings through color, exciting, provocative line work,
textures and a strong composition.....in myseascapes, i try to capture the ocean in a spontaneous, heartfelt, expressive way....its a labor of love.
i feel extremely grateful that i am able to paint each and every day.
i am represented by many wonderful galleries from wellfleet, ma. to sarsota and jupiter florida and nj,ct, and r.i. in between!........
my work is in hundreds of corporate and private collections:
u.of penn executive offices, union carbide, lee iocaccoa, wakefern corp, makita, dun & bradstreet, maxwell house, first fidelity bank, o’donnell davis, inc. johnson &johnson, pse& g of n.j., sealy mattress, ibm, squibb corp., lever brothers and more.
