Biography

After getting his Master's Degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 1974, he was quickly picked up by King Pitcher Gallery in Pittsburgh, which placed his work in prominent collections like Jones and Laughlin Steel, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, and Bidwell Cultural Center.  He then moved to New York in 1977 where his work was placed in the collection of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.


He then started Abney Galleries, an artist collective, in Soho in 1992, then moved to Chelsea in 2001 where he opened World Fine Art Gallery for the next 10 years.  The gallery closed its doors in 2010 and he became an artist agent and continues to live and create his art in New York.
