I have had a passion for drawing and painting all my life. Since 1996, I have been a professional fine artist and have devoted my career to drawing, painting and photography full time. Prior to '96, I co-owned and operated an advertising, illustration and sign company for over a decade and a half. Currently my work is done in my studio and beyond. The nature that surrounds me in the NJ Pines inspires my work. On June 1st, 2011, I start my 6th year of daily drawings on www.sketchingeveryday.com.
