Myself with my great friend Peter Esposito in the early 1980's. In his basement is where I started
taking my painting seriously, after he introduced me to abstract artist Louis Schanker.

With sculptor William Tarr, outside his studio in Springs, East Hampton
in 1980. I was his assistant for several years and he became my
mentor and lifelong friend.

Two dapper dudes! Nick Tarr and I outside of Bill Tarr's studio.

Bill Tarr and I, at his studio in 1985.

Myself with Dane Dixon putting up the flag for my first show at

Fellow artist in my first show, Alberto Juliano, who was a great
influence to me and many other artists in his lifetime, often seen
socializing with patrons where I was bartending.

Fellow artist David Slater in earlier days. Good man!

Lindsey Maxwell and I met in Montauk in 1977 and remained great
friends until his departure in 2006.

Larry Zox was a great influence on me. We met in East Hampton and I will never forget
the special occasions we had in his studio in NYC. Truly missed!

Tom Koether and I met in 1986 after he was returning from living in Australia.
We started showing together and continued showing together for many years.
We had a great friendship that included many wild adventures.

Tim Lee was a great supporter of my work.
After I asked for a photograph of my work,
he helped me by photographing most of
the body of my work. This turned out to be
priceless to me. A true fixture of Springs,
East Hampton. I will always miss him even
though I know he is in a good space!

John Sanders inspired me since the day we met. Great sculptor...so much energy!
