Artist Profile
A Visual Journey
Sal has taught all levels of art from elementary school through college for more than 35 years, starting on Long Island and working his way north through New Paltz, recently settling in Glenmont.
In retirement from New Paltz he decided he wanted to become a professional landscape painter specializing in rural images. Old barns, fences and the Shawangunk Mountains became his backdrop for numerous paintings.
During that time, Sal became a member of the Pine Bush Area Arts Council primarily assembling art shows. He also became the Vice president of the Crawford Art Association responsible for art shows in the Crawford government center gallery as well as staging demonstrations, receptions and overseeing the associations Facebook pages.
Now that Sal is settled in Glenmont, he set up his studio and has now begun making inroads into the artist community in and around the area. Working three to four hours a day from photographic references he has taken while waiting for their new house to be built, Sal is once again at his happiest working away in his studio.

"As an artistic professional, I’m always looking for the next opportunity to translate what I experience into art. Since 2000, I’ve led a life fully devoted to the arts. It’s no lie to say I live, breathe and dream of art.
I have experience in a range of media, although I have my own particular preferences that I keep coming back to. If my style speaks to you, I’d love to work with you in the future. Please be in touch to find out more and to discuss how we can collaborate on whatever you have in mind."
