I am an arrogant old curmudgen, that has been an Artist and Gallery owner for most of my life. My Life Partner, who was a major Artist in Europe and this country as well , Saw something in me I guess, Because we spent over fifty years of our lives , painting, working, traveling, and living together in an amazingly warm , loving and monogamous relationship.

In The Greatest Loss of my lifetime, I lost My Blessed Fred, in 1993 Following the loss of our home and all our belongings in Hurricane Andrew, while we were living in South Florida.,

He Succumbed to a variety of age related illnesses, after a long ( 17yrs) series of poor health and sickness. He was a devout Catholic, (which I am also) and one of the most magnificent human beings ever put upon this earth. ...Because of this man, I have had a true insight into what very real, love and devotion is,

Second Only to this man,Is my love of Fine Art, Which he Instilled and developed within me. I love the works of Salvador Dali, who I had the distinct pleasure of knowing many years ago. I also love many other forms of fine Art,But, Dali did somthing to me that made me feel I could do anything and did not have to always be a follower.

I have always loved the classic Renaissance School of Art which I studied in Paris,Vienna, Munich, Florence and Rome, as well as in the middle east in Israel.

I started My studies of fine art in New York at the Art Students League, and Cooper Union in the 1930s

My Work Runs to the Neo Classical and Realist styles, As well as a strong leaning to the Metaphysical Surrealism of the Style of Dali and Magritte. I have had more than a hundred Exhibitions in my long and varied career, and only in This, did I find almost as much satisfaction as I did in my private life and relationship.
