I am a lifelong resident of Woodbridge Township, New Jersey. I was born in 1957 and attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York as an illustration major. Deciding I liked the fine art aspect more, I settled on pastels as a medium because I was tired of carrying wet canvases across campus. Sewaren is the subject of some of my paintings. I refer to them as industrial like to call them industrial landscapes. Realizing it was unlikely that I could sustain a living as a painter, I left Pratt to work at a retail frame shop and gallery, just to be around art. I paint recreationally and was occasionally commissioned. I always liked the challenges that pastels presented and enjoyed the ability to leave a painting for extended periods. I painted for a few years until family and work took control of my life, so I put away the pastels for about 28 years. I paint in both Pastel and Watercolor and may venture into other mediums. I also offer my work as original artwork and museum quality giclee prints. ..Read Less
