His experience illustrating stories and book covers for many different genres and ages has included providing accompanying artwork for almost all of the major Hardcover and Paperback Book Publishers as well as many Magazine Publishers, mostly based in the New York area.
His initial chosen vocation, that of combining the written and illustrated word, together with a lifelong love of writing itself, has finally and logically resulted in his present concentration on the equally fascinating career of creating his own written material. That step reached an important turning point when he was commissioned by the Postal Commemorative Society to research and help write the text for a collection of one-hundred of his own original historical paintings entitled: Milestones of the American West: A Pictorial History.
He has also been a professor of Art, Art History and Graphic Design, and has taught full-time at many Art Schools and Universities, including the Rochester Institute of Technology, (where he also graduated with his BFA), and Syracuse University, Kean University in New Jersey, and the University of the Arts, in Philadelphia.
His Masters of Fine Arts degree was earned at the University of Illinois, in Champaign-Urbana. He was then awarded a Tiffany Foundation Grant to live and work as a post graduate in Paris, where he studied Printmaking at the famed Atelier 57. While living abroad, he travelled widely, and further developed his early career in Fine Art, Illustration and Graphic Design. He is of French and Danish heritage and is married to Justine Armanini Valla, a Textile Print Designer and Craftsperson.lihat lebih sedikit
