My simple
BIOGRAPHY AS AN ARTIST
I could go into all the details of my art education, the awards I have won, the infinite number of Art & Craft shows I have performed in as well as the long hours I have personally studied on my own behalf. Suffice it to say it all comes down to doing art for the sake of art. No other form of occupation has given me the peace and joy I experience than sitting down in front of my easel and,.... being creative.
I would, however, like to bring to mention two artists that took me under their wing and patiently molded me to become the artist I am today.
The first was Mike Molnar who taught Old Master style painting at LCCC in Nanticoke PA and Hope Horn who taught color function and theory in Scranton, PA. They were both dear to my heart and exceptional as teachers as well as friends. My goal is to carry on the joy they brought to this world by their art work.
Styles and Types of
PET PORTRAITS FUREVER

Black and White Charcoal Pet Portrait
This type of portrait is rendered in black and white. Ideally, it is the least expensive and is favored for the customer that has a pet(s) that is totally black, white or a combination of both black and white. Base price starts at $150. Inquire for details.

Color Pastel Pet Portrait
This type of portrait is rendered in Rembrandt soft pastels. It is most favored by someone who desires a high quality pet portrait in color and is my most sought after medium of pet portraits. Once matted and framed it will last for generations to come!
Base price starts at $300. Inquire for details.

Oil Painting Pet Portrait
This style of portrait is, yes, considered the premier of pet portraits. Oils yield the most vibrant colors, soft hues and values as well as texture that stands as true compliment to a portrait. As an experienced artist I have a variety of techniques from Old Master Style to other more contemporary "free flowing" styles. All oil paintings are rendered on either durable canvas or masonite board.
Base price starts at $600. Inquire for details.
