Artist Statement:
My journey as an artist began
when I was three months old
and a crayon fell into my
crib; I immediately created a
masterpiece on my blanket,
which now hangs in the local
art museum... or maybe not! I
won’t bore you with the story
of my life. My artist
statement is really very
simple, I love art, both
creating and appreciating it.
I have been an “artist” as
long as I can remember. My
career started in freelance
cartooning; an area I found
suited my personality and
abilities. I was successful
in this endeavor becoming one
of the top freelance
cartoonists in the country.
I have been published in
newspapers, magazines, and
books with clients ranging
from The Saturday Evening
Post, Aquarium Fish, Industry
Week, Habitat for Humanity,
UNICEF International,
University of Notre Dame, and
New Hampshire Public Radio, to
name a few.
I eventually decided to make a
go at “finer” art and found a
love for pastel painting. My
work has developed into what
has been defined as
“imaginative realism”.
My goal is to give people a
sense of “goodness”, to create
a place that’s somewhere you’d
want to visit or that reminds
you ...
