Born and raised in New England, I’ve been painting since my teens in the mid 80’s (thank you Bob Ross) and have explored many mediums including oils, acrylics and watercolors (does Testors paints on model cars count as well?).

After a pivot to graphic and web design in the late 90’s (skills I’ve used at many jobs all the way thru to today) I haven’t painted regularly very much in the past 20 years or so.

That is until summer of 2019 when I purchased my first Apple iPad Pro along with the Apple Pencil. That changed everything.

I’ve been blown away with how the iPad has rekindled my love of painting again. So much so that in late 2020, I started painting with oils again as well.

Although most of the digital art from my iPad is mainly focused on my other passion of German automobiles, my rekindled love of painting subjects are much more varied. I love painting anything from landscapes to still lifes to figure studies.

And in 2025 I’ve decided to go back into freelance graphic design with my new venture neuman design co. It’s about time I try and make some money with my creativity.
