A painter with a wide variety of subject matter supported by extensive travel in the United States and Europe.  A special focus of his painting and lecturing was the Blackfoot Indian tribe in the Canadian Rockies.  He began his art studies as a textile designer at the Lowell Institute in Lowell, Massachusetts.  He had summer jobs in Provincetown, Massachusetts, which brought him in contact with numerous artists, which, in turn, influenced him to become a fine art painter.  He studied in New York at the Artist Artisans and in Boston at the Cowles Art School, and then went to Paris for three years, attending the Academies Julien, Colarossi and Ecole des Beaux Arts.  Among his teachers were Jean-Paul Laurens.
