"Educated with a BFA and an MFA at Wayne State University (Detroit) in the 60s, my first love has always been to paint the human figure and the ever-changing landscape in a traditional manner. During my 26 years as an Art Professor at Aquinas College, I sharpened my artistic and teaching skills and reinforced my aesthetic beliefs. Teaching workshops since the mid-seventies, I've continued to strengthen my facility and beliefs and preached the same to my wonderful students throughout the country.

​

As a frequent traveler around the country and abroad, I'm constantly on the alert for new subject matter, ideas, and visual stimuli that may contain resources for my future artworks. The paintings and drawings derived from my experiences reflect my personal views and journey through life.

The primary goal of my artwork has always been to go beyond the important technical and fundamental aspects of painting in my quest to capture the essence of the scene or the individual. With homage to the Great Masters, I continue to emulate and carry on the tradition of "academic" painting because that is what I want, and love to do. This is my art scene. I hope you share in my quest for aesthetic beauty"
