About the Artist
Since retirement in 1993 I have lived in Deal Island Md, and started doing Pen and Ink Chesapeake Lighthouses, Cottage, Wedding Cake and land towers. I expanded into Chesapeake boats, Skipjacks, Rams,yachts,sloops, many other sail powered and Motor driven, USN Texas, Menhaden steamers, and watermens workboats. Then began drawing US lighthouses of all kinds.
I love Railroads, and retired from Conrail so next I drew Railways, tracks moving freight using draft horses, horse trolleys, and locomotives from the earliest through the steam age of Rail.
I grew up in the 30s and 40s in New York City, went to Hope College in Holland Michingan, 49 to 53, served in the Army in Counterintelligence, and worked for Ford Motor Company as an Industrial Engineer, mainly in Mahwah N.J., but also in several other plants.
Ford closed the Mahwah Plant in 1980 and I joined Conrail as an industrial Engineer, eventually becoming a facility improvement engineer for the Marketing Department, and coordinating Coal and Ore Sales personnel with the billing department to get very unique contracts to work in mechanical billing. This involved getting the MBAs of marketing to work with the hourly billing personnel, which I enjoyed immensely.
