I have made my living as an artist for over 30 years. I received my training at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and the Arts Students League in NY. I was an illustrator for 6 years right out of art school. Since then I've made my living as a portrait painter. I have painted over 900 commissioned portraits all across the USA. I enjoy painting landscapes and still lifes but nothing gives me more pleasure than painting people! You have to love people to be in my profession, and I do.Please go to my website for more examples of my work....more
