About Us
I am a Maritime Artist with paintings in a number of galleries and museums, including the U.S.S. Constitution Museum. My work has been used on book & CD covers, magazines, and. recently, as artwork for a stamp honoring the Royal Navy in Great Britain.
I research all my work, which is mainly historical ships, to determine the best way to 'tell a story' about whatever the subject is. I have been drawing and painting since I was a child growing up in Boston.
We accept commissions as well as sell completed works and prints. and love talking to people so visitors are welcome to the Studio, just call ahead.

As an artist, I am in a specialized field and a one man 'band.' I have to market my own works - by my web site, in galleries and on Facebook - and the customer already has to be looking for this kind of work.

I don't spend much time on line as then I wouldn't be spending time working on my latest painting. So, sort of a catch-22. People still find me, but not in droves. Those who do, are usually very happy with what they find, buy or commission.
I welcome visitors, emails, and phone calls, but usually prefer in person or by phone, it seems to me to be time consuming to be going back and forth on line, so, dor better or for worse, that is how I operate.
Honestly, any stimulus package would not affect my business at all. i doubt that anyone will use it to buy artwork. I would not be applying for a loan either because I am a very small businee and my studio is in my home. We have been retired for over four years fromour other jobs so are...

However, there are so many OTHER businesses that are I certainly hope their needs are adequately addressed, and soon, before we lose all the little individual businesses that make life worth living.
Honestly, I paint from my home studio, so this hasn't really affected me. I just finished my ninth painting for this year and have sold several through the galleries who handle my work. I don't get a lot of commissions, although I welcome them as well as visitors to the studio. If anything, I've...

Honestly, I paint from my home studio, so this hasn't really affected me. I just finished my ninth painting for this year and have sold several through the galleries who handle my work. I don't get a lot of commissions, although I welcome them as well as visitors to the studio. If anything, I've become more prolific. I do research online and by ordering material, which has stayed the same for me. I have been very fortunate.
