This is one of the graduation caps I’d created for a friend.

These images are the proposed etching designs for an upcoming monument.

18 ” x 24 “  Oil  2012

"Millstream" Acrylic (26" x 36") circa 1975

This piece is a rarity in that I’ve seldom painted landscapes, especially in the 70′s.  Watch for more “Oldies.”

I have a one man show opening on May 18th, 7pm at Ashker’s, 1002 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo NY.   It runs thru May 28th.

My full-time employment, as a Creative Arts Therapist, continues to be both challenging and rewarding.

Unfortunately, the need for Police sketches  continues.  I’m currently working with a local law enforcement agency regarding an attempted rape.  I avail myself as a volunteer for these services.

The film “Curbs”  features 3 of my courtroom drawings.

I’m working on a  design for a monument honoring the living and fallen of Hotel Company, 2nd Bn / 7th Marines. This is the unit that I had served with in Vietnam.

My Portrait and Caricature class is in its second week.  I’m always looking for volunteers who would like to model.

These are courtroom style drawings of  participants at The National Veterans Wheelchair Games held in Denver this past July. This accelerated approach was helpful in capturing a moment during movement.

Mark Kline with Ralph Sirianni

Mark Kline is a 38-year-old disabled Army Veteran living in Mexico, NY.  Mark became sick while stationed at Ft. Lewis after returning from his tour in Germany and Bosnia.  Mark was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Wilson’s Disease.  It is characterized by the body’s inability to metabolize copper and stores it in the heart, liver and brain until it reaches a toxic level rather than passing it through.  Mark was born in Costa Rica and adopted to an American family at 18 months — the disease was undiagnosed until Mark became sick.  Wilson’s Disease causes neuromuscular problems with all four limbs, muscle spasms, and the inability to speak and/or swallow.  Mark ambulates with a wheelchair, and in his spare time enjoys painting, sketching, snow and water skiing (in a sit down ski), and his beautiful pug named Sage.
