He went to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the oldest art school in the United States, then upon completion of schooling began showing in the art world. Just three years after completing his studies at the Academy of Fine Art he was hired as an instructor and soon became an instructor/critic, the highest step in the hierarchy of the Academy. Shortly after being made an instructor at the Academy, he was given a position as instructor of art at the Delaware Art Museum, one of the most highly respected small museums in the United States. He has been teaching at the Delaware Art Museum since then.
He received numerous awards and was accepted twice in the famous Whitney Annual, a showcase for the best of American art. He has shown in New York and around the United States; also internationally.
He taught for 23 years at the Academy, and then when he moved out of the city, began his own art school, the Chadds Ford Academy of Fine Arts. He has been reviewed and included in numerous articles in the top art magazines including Artforum, Art in America, and Art News. He was assistant curator of a national drawing show at Moore College of art, was a visiting artist at Drexel University and The University of Pennsylvania, and was an ‘artist in residence’ at The University of Texas in Austin.view less
