His work has been selected in many juried competitions, including the Artist Archives of the Western Reserve NewNow Show, Fairmount Center for the Arts, Lakeland College May Show, Trumbull Art Gallery, Morgan Conservatory, Beachwood Arts Invitational and others. In addition, his work is in private collections across the country. His portfolio is mostly figurative within the context of narrative that reflects his everyday life.

We support the Library while advocating for the preservation of the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Building, home to numerous nonprofits enriching our community. As the Library shifts away from landlord responsibilities, we seek collaborative solutions to secure the building's future. We are prepared to lead the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Campus project as long-term leaseholders, establishing a center that attracts tenants and builds on partnerships with local funders and institutions for fundraising and capital improvements. Together, we can “Keep the P.E.A.C.E.”!In the meantime, we encourage you to visit our website ( coventrypeacecampus.org/keepthepeace ) to learn more about our efforts and other ways in which you can help right now. - Be sure to take the Library’s survey ( bit.ly/CPLibSurv0724 ) and on #10, 11 & 12 - be sure to check “other” and use the available text box to state your support for our Keep The P.E.A.C.E.. initiative.
