I studied portrait painting for five years at The Art Student's League in New York City and I am an award winning paperback book cover artist. I have worked for several major publishig companies and my book covers have been published worldwide. At this time I have decided to concentrate on painting animals since they have always been such an important part of my life and I feel a special bond with them. Although I enjoyed my work in publishing I find painting animals more satisfying than my commercial work. I hope my portraits reflect the love I have for all our animal friends.
