Born in the Detroit area, like most “Motor City” boys of that era, my dream was to become a car designer, just like my father, who was directly responsible for the artistic gift I was born with.
However, after a Commercial Art degree, and a stint in the Navy as an Illustrator, I ultimately became an Industrial Designer in the Commercial Aircraft Industry. While employed by Boeing, I was responsible for the creation of presise hand painted renderings of the interior design for Air Force One, and other v.i.p. clients. It was there that I developed my precise painting style that has become the signature technique in my fine art painting of today. After creating numerous commissioned works for various clients in Beverly Hills, including the CEO of a famous clothing designer, several portrait commissions, and a small series of wine bottle paintings, titled “The Grapes of Roth”, I ultimately found a permanent niche painting an on-going series of highly detailed, whimsical cat paintings I call the “Kool-Kat Kollection”.
These images are executed in acrylic, utilizing the precise and time consuming air brush techniques of my work from Boeing. The series has been quite popular among cat lovers, and the images are now licensed to numerous greeting card and jig-saw manufacturers. Being a devoted animal lover my entire life, creating my paintings is a genuine “labor of love” for me, but I must say that my greatest reward comes from seeing the big smiles they bring to the faces of my collectors. Please visit my web site at www.kool-kats.com to view the images for yourself. You may just deside to become a “Kool-Kat Kollector”.
