| THE ARTIST |

study of art was at the State University College at Buffalo New York, the University de Siena and Scuola del'Arte in Italy,
majoring in Painting and Sculpture.
His career has been varied, including
teaching, designing and building custom furniture for home and corporations. He worked as a designer, builder, sculptor, painter,

works and a body of very personal work for several shows, winning numerous awards as well as acclaim in art circles and the
press. |
