My Studio is associated with Chateau Gallerie where I have my art displayed. I have found this location to be very comfortable and inspiring. As I walk among the trees in the changing seasons and the lighting, each day, I find the shapes and forms that evolve into the composition of my paintings.Travels around the United States have given me additional inspiration for my paintings.

Having descended from Cellini, the Italian artist, I may have a natural instinct for art. Essentially I am self  taught by studying the works of many artists and reading exstensively about techniques and materials. My early artistic efforts were charcoal sketches followed by watercolors. While I still do utilize these mediums, currently the majority of my works use high quality acrylics enhanced selectively with oils.

My paintings give me much pleasure and satisfaction in the creation and I hope they provide similar pleasure for the kind folks who acquire my works.
