I am a self-taught artist who, by trial and error, has mastered the techniques of creating images in oils, watercolor, pen and ink, graphite, and charcoal. My interests also include First Day Cover cachets and photography.
   As a high school science teacher (now retired) I illustrated a number of student manuals and laboratory exercises; edited and illustrated a publicity filmstrip for my local high school; and my workshops and lectures for the NYS Biology Teachers Association, the NYS Marine Educators Association, and the Science Council of NY featured my drawings. My column, “An Artist’s View,” which included a pen and ink drawing, appeared in the NYS Biology Teachers Association publication, Adaptation. Presently I write a column for a local newspaper, The Wave called “Drawing on Science,” which also is accompanied by a drawing or diagram.
   I designed and illustrated “Seamore Gull’s Rockaway Fun Book,” which was commissioned by the Rockaway Chamber of Commerce, my First Day and Event Cover cachets are gaining popularity in the collectors’ field, and I wrote and illustrated a children’s fantasy titled Ian And The Woodins.
    I neither go into any fanciful explanations concerning my work nor do I give my pieces any fanciful titles. I just paint, draw and photograph subjects that I find pleasing and hope that the viewer finds the finished work equally so.
