I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia.  

After graduation, I worked in NYC as a packaging and product designer.  In Nantucket I fell in love with my soulmate, we married, and moved to Boston where 

I worked as a graphic designer. Soon after we moved to the south shore.  

The pet paintings started in 2011 when my daughter wanted a painting of our dog Skipper.  "Salty Dog" was the first of over three hundred pet paintings.
