About the Artist

Sid's interest in art first started during his senior year in college. Looking for an "Easy A" class, he signed up for Watercolor 101 with Jim Green. Sid was immediately captivated by the power and magic of the medium. Sid studied with Green, a renowned watercolorist, for two years, and then traveled abroad with Green to paint in Europe. Jim Green instilled a love and respect for the art of watercolors, as well as a strong sense of design. After graduating from Principia College, Sid followed in his mentor's footsteps and attended Art Center College of Design.

Sid continues his love of watercolors to this day producing paintings for corporate offices and restaurants, as well as fine art paintings of figures, landscapes, and still-lifes. Over his professional career Sid has illustrated and designed for Disney, Walt Disney Imagineering, Disney Motion Picture Promotions, Universal Studios, Thinkwell, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, BRC, Contour, the LA Dodgers, the Harlem Globetrotters, Toyota, AT&T and various Fortune 500 companies.

Sid is most inspired to paint while traveling, which he does often to visit his clients as well as his three daughters and their families who live in Missouri, Germany and Tanzania.

Sid's work has been exhibited in the New York Illustrators Society, the International Watermedia Exhibition in Houston, and numerous galleries, group and one man shows around the country. 

He’s taught at Art Center College of Design for over 20 years and recently at University of California Irvine.  Having been a teacher for years, he enjoys giving demonstrations and workshops both online and in-person. Sid is passionate about sharing his love of art with clients and students alike.
