ABOUT THE ARTIST
I was born in 1947 and grew up in rural Pennsylvania 35 miles west of Philadelphia. After attending George Brown College and four years of study at the Three Schools of Art in Toronto, I exhibited for a few years before moving into illustration. I won several awards in illustration including the Bomac magazine cover of the year award in 1984. My illustrations were chosen for the American Illustrator and Print Magazine illustration annuals.
Over the past year I've been working on a series botanical paintings in oil. I call them interior landscapes. I'm also working on a series of Faerie paintings. Several examples can be seen in my oil painting gallery. I now live in Dunwoody Georgia with my wife Pamela.
