I've loved drawing since I was a kid. I earned my first commission in second grade,
earning a penny for drawing Charlie Brown for a classmate. I graduated high school in 1980,
the year of "stagflation." Rather than enter art school, I did the sensible thing and
went to
engineering school. That would have been great, if I had any interest in engineering.
After working for two weeks as an engineer, I quit. I decided to change careers and
enter the world of advertising art. It was a difficult transition.
I paid my dues working in darkrooms (remember those?) before finally getting a
job with a small agency.Over the years I've created advertising art for a variety of companies,
including Foxwoods, Carnival Cruise Lines, Boston Market, Papa Gino's, Newport Creamery,
Abbott Laboratories, and Holmes Products.
But I've come to the point in my life where I want to create my own art. I'm currently in the middle
of creating what I hope will be dozens of realistic wildlife illustrations.
I'm very pleased
with the way things are progressing. I plan on doing several illustrations in each animal series.
After that, I may do some religious art. My Catholic faith is central to my life,
and I hope that all of my art glorifies God in some way.
