I CREATE PAINTINGS THROUGH WHICH I HOPE PEOPLE WILL FIND JOY AND INTEREST IN VIEWING REPEATEDLY

Art has always been a major part of my life. I have studied art throughout my academic years and afterwards on my own, and have been creating fine art for over 45 years.

I see artful compositions in everything from nature, to objects in our everyday lives, and in old buildings and places of interest. For decades I have painted architectural landscapes, country landscapes, seascapes, European village scenes and local scenes of areas of interest. I equally embrace abstract art. In that vein I seek to create beautiful imagery that people would love to look at again and again. I seek to create images/paintings in which people can see something a little different each time they view them.

I work mostly in oil on canvass, but often oil pastel and sometimes, mixed media. Regardless of the medium, I always strive to present original fine art pieces that make people happy. To this end I will continue on. I hope you love what you see in each of my works.

Originally from Pennsylvania, I lived 34 years in Dallas, TX and now reside in Southern California. My family was originally from Italy which is why for years I painted so many European images, but today my work encompasses everything from realism to abstract expressionism to modernist pieces. I have sold many paintings and pastel works as well as mixed media pieces to many patrons from many places over the years, as well as corporate entities.

I hope you find joy and interest in my pieces.
