About the Artist

Sal has spent over 60 years in the field of art. He has worn many hats, so to speak, and has enjoyed them all.

After  graduating from The School of Visual Arts in NYC, he pursued a career in illustration, which was his main focus in school. He thought that would be it for his entire career. He loved the assignments and was thrilled to be a working illustrator living and working in New York. However, another opportunity presented itself...a position as an art director in the book publishing arena. He later became an art director at Ladies Home Journal magazine, which turned out to be his favorite job. While working there, he met a lot of artists' agents and that planted the germ of an idea for a new career path. He felt that he was better qualified to represent artists as a result of his experience as a working illustrator and as an art director... knowing both sides of the coin proved to be invaluable. He was an artists' agent for 25 years, forming his own company and representing over 30 illustrators from around the world. 

 25 years ago he started to paint again concentrating on landscapes and still life work. He has used oil and acrylics either on canvas or panels.
