Description Morning GloriesYe hold not in your calm, cool hearts the passion of the rose,Ye do not own the haughty pride the regal lily knows;But ah, what blossom has the charm, the purity of this,Which shrinks before the tenderest love, and dies beneath a kiss?In this wide garden of the world, where he is wise who knowsThe bramble from the sweet-brier, the nettle from the rose,Some lives there are which seem like these, as sensitive and fair,As far from thought of sin or shame, as free from stain of care.We find sometimes these splendid souls, when all our world is young.Where life is crisp with freshness, with unshaken dew-drops hung.They blossom in the cool, dim hours, ere sunshine dries the air,But cease and vanish long before the noonday's heat and glare.And if in manhood's dusty time, fatigued with toil and glow,We crave the fresh young morning-heart which charmed us long ago,We seek in vain the olden ways, the shadows moist and fair:The heart-shaped leaves may linger, but the blossom is not there.The fairest are most fragile still, the world of being through,The finest spirits, faint before they lose life's morning dew.The trials and the toils of time touch not their tender truth,For, ere earth's stain can cloud them, they achieve immortal youth. (From a poem by Elizabeth Akers Allen)

At eight years old in the late 50’s, I started private training in traditional oil techniques. To this day, I owe my appreciation to my mother, who has since passed away. Through considerable personal sacrifice, she nurtured my artistic talent and provided me with the tools and circumstances to begin my creative journey - the journey that I still follow. I cherish the memories of the art exhibits and museums that we visited in Manhattan. I later attended The School of Visual Arts in New York City (1970-71). During the 70's and up until the late 80's, I exhibited acrylic and oils in Montreal and New York. Presently, I reside in Florida with my loving wife, who I've been married to for thirty years. Due to the onset of chronic illness in the late nineties and with the advent of image editing software, I turned to creating digital hand painted images and photographic art - fusing these into an art form worthy of the same gratification that I had once found in oils.
