Born in New York City, he repeatedly painted still lifes of pear subjects, both at close range and from a distance. His fruit suggested the curves of the human body. He first studied electrical engineering at Pratt Institute in 1960 and 1961 and then spent two years working on a chartered schooner, returning to painting in 1963 in Cologne, Germany. Two years later, he settled in New York City.
