Biography
I am an American painter. born in Buffalo, New York. I have had exhibits in Milan, Rome, Bologna, Florence, etc. I started a new school called "American Verismo" to pay homage to the Italian I Macchiaioli and their ideas. I update these ideas with an appreciation for other plein air trdaitions and the ideas of Cezanne as well as an underatnding and love of abstraction and, in portraiture, the Scapigliatura School of Milan. In short my work is a fusion of Italian and American ideas about painting.
