ABOUT

An accomplished artist and entrepreneur known for my distinctive photography and significant contributions to the art communities in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island. My work emphasizes the artist’s hand in creating images that transport viewers, breathing life into his subjects.  

 

My practice has long been defined by a disciplined eye and an instinct for atmosphere—nearly two decades spent refining a visual language rooted in texture, shadow, and quiet intensity. The photographs, often drawn from nature and reinterpreted through a cinematic lens, move beyond documentation to become studies in presence and perception. This evolution into fine art wall coverings marks a natural, deliberate expansion of that vision: translating intimate, meticulously composed works into immersive architectural surfaces. Conceived for high-end interiors, the collection elevates my imagery to a new scale—where art is no longer confined to the frame, but becomes an enveloping experience, shaping the tone, depth, and identity of a space.

CUSP Gallery and Community Impact

In April 2023, I re-opened CUSP Gallery in Newport, Rhode Island, at the intersection of Spring and Bull streets. The gallery moved to Washington Square in November 2024 and reopened in its newest iteration in a historic home built in 1801. The gallery has become a beacon for artists, offering curated exhibitions and guidance in the exhibition process. This approach has transformed CUSP into a vibrant hub for provocative visual art and public installations.  

 

 

Recognizing a need for more art-focused social gatherings, I launched a weekly Salon Series on Thursday evenings at the Brenton Hotel in Newport. These events feature artwork from different artists each week, accompanied by complimentary wine and charcuterie. The Salon Series has attracted diverse crowds, fostering connections within the art community and providing a platform for artists to showcase their work.  

 

Through these initiatives, the projects have significantly impacted my community by making art more accessible and engaging, thereby enriching the local cultural landscape. My journey reflects a seamless blend of artistic passion and business acumen, with a commitment to inspiring fellow creatives and enriching the communities he engages with.

 

I would like to think this has made significant strides in the art world, particularly through my photography and curatorial work with CUSP Gallery. I am known for my unique, painterly photography, and his contributions to local arts communities, such as through the Newport Artists Collective.

 

While it’s impossible to predict the future with certainty, my dedication to the arts and my innovative approach suggest that I could continue to gain recognition and possibly achieve wider acclaim. The trajectory of an artist’s career often depends on exposure, opportunities, and continued evolution of their craft. If I continue to build on this successes, there is potential for the work to become more widely recognized in the global art community.

 

While global recognition is a common measure of success in the art world, my impact on local and national art scenes, my gallery’s growth, and my dedication to my craft suggest that I am successful and respected figure in my field.
