Fine Art/Expert Profile

Expertise

American Fine Art Paintings.
Oils, Watercolors, Sketches. Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. Hudson River School, Pennsylvania Academy, Cape Ann artists, Ash Can, Woodstock, Florida Indian River, American Impressionists, etc. I can provide some background about artists and perhaps a rough appraisal or guidance towards obtaining a value. I am acquainted with many of the best American art dealers and auction houses. Original works only, I do not follow the print market. I do NOT field questions about prints.

Important to know
I am not expert in European art. I encourage you to send questions on European artists to other experts on this service. NO PRINTS:I encourage you to seek help on prints elsewhere. Two sites come to mind: www.artoftheprint.com and www.philaprintshop.com

Experience in the area

I have been collecting original American Fine Art for over 20 years. I have curated art shows, and I have served as a dealer, providing appraisals and guidance for the last 8 years.

What do you like about this subject?

I have a keen interest in the Hudson River School painters, particularly those artists who spent time at Lake George in the Adirondack Mountains. Among them: David Johnson, William Hart, John Bunyan Bristol, Richard William Hubbard, Nelson Augustus Moore and others.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Fine Art may seem intimidating...but it is not! Most art dealers are highly approachable and they regard no question as inappropriate.
