I have always been an artist, you could say it’s in my DNA. “Charles Sidney Raleigh” 1830-1925 was my great-grandfather. A self-taught maritime artist, his works are displayed at several museums – the Smithsonian Museum, the National Gallery of America Art, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cape Cod Museum.

Like my great-grandfather my most requested oil paintings are of ships. Commissioned works include portraits and likenesses of famous artworks. Personally, I see colors everywhere and enjoy fantasy oil painting.
