I
was born on the Feast of
the Immaculate Conception, in the coal mining region of Northeastern
Pennsylvania, during the Eisenhower administration.
From the time I picked up my first crayon, creativity as a form of expression has always been the norm for me. A talent was discovered and encouraged, and I have been drawing and painting ever since. |

Throughout
High School, I often heard from teachers "I don't understand why your grades
aren't better. You're always so attentive, and you're always taking notes!"
What they didn't understand was my 'attentiveness' was my studying their
features, and my 'note taking' was sketching them.
After High School, I attended the York Academy of Arts, where I studied commercial art. |
 |
|
After art school, I was free to go in my own direction! And the direction I went in, was retail visual merchandising. I had complete artistic freedom to create beauty and fantasy. The only drawback, I felt, was these presentations were only temporary 'creations,' subject to change with the fashion and season. Nothing was ever permanent. But, I did enjoy the work for approximately seven years. |  |
|
At that time, I then went to work for a custom frame shop & art gallery. At last I was working with something directly related to art. In the twelve years I worked there, I did become quite knowledgeable on every aspect of custom framing. Whether it be choosing the correct frame 'off the shelf,' to designing the complete package, using mat colors, textures, filets and molding styles, to best compliment the artwork. Using the latest technology in archival/conservation materials, we framed everything from amateur paint-by-number boards, to the priceless originals of some of the worlds foremost artists! |  |
|
In
1999, I decided once again to go off in my own direction. I left my position
there, to pursue my own business. I now operate my own small frame shop,
which allows me more time to spend creating my own artwork. The latest pieces
you see here. I hope you'll enjoy viewing them, as much as I did creating
them.
