Location United States
Introduction I was born in 1959 in southern New Hampshire. In my sophomore year of high school I began attending Berwick Academy in South Berwick Maine. There I had the opportunity to study art under the illustrator Charles Andres. Next came the study of Design for Theatre at Northeastern University under Richard E. Schreiber. After college I continued to be involved with design and to explore painting while working various full time jobs, eventually settling in to a career in sales. After fifteen years of this I have struck off on my own (or been cast off by my last employer, depending on your viewpoint) into a fulltime life of painting. Following current events, reading history, researching on the internet and talking with friends and acquaintances helps me pursue my ideas about spirituality, symbolism and modern culture. My family and I live near Boston.
