Corporate Portraits
Oil portraits of men in both formal and informal settings are a specialty of mine—particularly those commissioned to honor individuals for their leadership or philanthropy. Several of these works are on permanent display at corporate headquarters.
From distinguished executives to celebrated public figures like Mayor Ed Koch and Vanilla Ice, each painting is a testament to the subject’s character. Whether the portrait is a gift for a milestone birthday, such as Larry Plevy's 60th, or a televised presentation for a celebrity, each is a meaningful tribute captured in oil.
Corporate portraits require more than likeness—they should express dignity, charisma, and strength. I aim to capture the personality behind the image, especially when working with the subject in person.
Let’s discuss how we can bring your vision to life—whether for your office, your legacy, or a loved one you wish to honor.
Family & Individual Portraits
A family oil portrait is more than a painting—it’s a legacy. Whether formal or casual, each portrait begins with your ideas and evolves through professional photography and personal sittings. Together, we’ll determine the perfect size, layout, and palette to suit your home’s space and style.
To truly capture likeness and spirit, I recommend that each member sit for me in the final stages of the painting process. These sessions allow me to observe and translate subtle gestures and expressions into timeless art.
Each portrait can also be turned into Giclee prints for family members, as well as notecards or holiday keepsakes. Let’s create a one-of-a-kind heirloom your family will treasure for generations.
Pet Portraits
Our beloved pets deserve to be remembered with the same artistry and care as our human companions. Whether you’d like to commemorate a lifelong furry friend or surprise a fellow pet lover with a meaningful gift, a custom oil pet portrait brings their personality to life on canvas.
Every pet painting begins with understanding their unique spirit—the tilt of their head, the softness in their gaze, or their playful posture. From majestic dogs to beloved cats, I ensure each portrait is both a fine art piece and a heartfelt keepsake.
If you're considering a portrait of your cherished companion, I’d be honored to create something truly special for you and your family.
Custom Work & Gallery
This collection showcases a variety of my work—oil paintings, gouaches, and acrylics spanning over 40 years as a professional artist. From my early days in New York City’s Union Square artist building to more recent pieces created in Florida, each painting carries a piece of my journey and passion.
You’ll find originals of varying sizes and subjects, as well as custom tile boxes created from Giclees of my work.
Every painting in this gallery is available for purchase. If one speaks to you—or if you’re interested in commissioning a custom piece—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
