The Art Renewal Center Salon is a precious and vital part of 21st century culture

The Art Renewal Center Salon is a precious and vital part of 21st century culture. Throughout my career as figurative painter the annual ARC Salon has always been an exciting moment for me. Inside the studio, creating a work specifically for the Salon makes me feel a bit like my forebears painting their "salon" piece, thus continuing an invaluable artistic tradition. Outside the studio, the Salon serves as a fantastic declaration of realist art where artists, collectors, students and fans alike can all discover what each artist is exploring in her/his studio.

I have also been honored with various Salon awards over the years that have lead to new collectors and increased distinction, thus supporting me professionally as well as culturally.
