About Us

Began painting later in life as both a hobby and a therapy.  As a child he was told he had no artistic ability.  As an adult, he developed a love for painters like Renoir, Cassat, Matisse and many other impressionists.    

Alan began painting in 2012 before he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.  Struggling with the effects of the disease, he was trying to make sense of the world and painting was an attempt to cope with what he would later find out was bipolar depression.  His first painting, entitled "Praying for Peace" was the result of that first struggle.
