Thank you for your interest in my art of Ocean City, NJ and to everyone who has collected my prints and paintings over the years.

Growing up in Ocean City has allowed me to capture some great
what I believe are some Ocean City memories and scenes. Contrary to some beliefs, I do not just paint buildings or businesses. I do my best to capture the essence of a memories of Ocean City in my paintings.

I started painting Ocean City scenes in 1980. My very first painting,
a watercolor of, “Dot’s Bakery”, sold as soon as it was hung in
Accent Gallery! I have been painting the town ever since. In addition to images of Ocean City some of my most popular prints have been of the great old bars in Somers Point, including Bay Shores, Tony Marts, the Anchorage, Dunes til Dawn and the wonderful Point Diner. I also paint Longport, Margate, Ventnor, Atlantic City and of course Cape May.

Many images of Ocean City that I have painted over the years are no longer around. Some of our most popular summer haunts such as Hogates, Voltaco’s, Flanders Grill, Richard’s on North Street,
Robert’s Ice Cream, Village Theatre… to name a few are unfortunately no longer around.

I have drawn and painted most of my life. I was awarded the NJ State
Fellowship in Design, and I am a published illustrator and merchandise designer. I can paint in any medium including watercolor, acrylic, and oil.

Would you like a custom painting of your favorite Ocean City memory?
