Artwork Receives Widespread Exposure, Accolatdes
His work has been exhibited at Gallery 30 in Gettysburg, F.A.N.
Gallery in Philadelphia, the Art Association of Harrisburg, Artisans
Gallery in Lancaster, and many others. He enjoyed international
exposure when one of his Cape Cod paintings was published in the
June/July 2009 issue of "International Artist" as a finalist in a
world-wide competition. Another of his Cape paintings was in a Cape
Cod Museum of Art advertisement in the July/August 2010 issue of
"Fine Art Connoisseur", also an international publication.
Closer to home, he was the subject of a story in the January 2011
issue of "The 'Burg Magazine". He was included with the Seven Lively
Artists in a January TV news segment and a feature article in the
March issue of "In Central Pennsylvania Magazine", a Harrisburg
Patriot News publication. He has recently been focusing on plein air
efforts on Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park in
Virginia.
Many of these paintings have been selected for inclusion in various
regional juried exhibitions in the past 3 years. He recently had
work at the 2011 Juried show at Lebanon Valley College, and
currently has a piece in the Doshi Juried show at the State Museum
of Pennsylvania. Two “Skylines” will be part of the upcoming
Cumberland Valley Juried Exhibition at the Washington County Museum
of Fine Art in Hagerstown MD. The Skyline series has been selected
for solo exhibitions at the Montpelier Arts Center near Richmond VA
in August of 2011 and the Delaplaine Visual Art Education Center in
