his mentor Richard Schmid as well as with Morgan Weistling and several others. As a
representational artist, he has achieved a uniquely versatile style which he describes as "Painterly Realism."
Working in oils,
he approaches each individual work of art from a fresh perspective. The painting
of the renowned violinist Joshua Bell shown below is a prime example of his
recognizable style.

throughout the United States, including the United States Golf Association Museum
in New Jersey. It is His impressive client list (see

potential.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"By carefully studying the work of artists I admire along the way, I charted my own
course in artistic training. My deep affection for
loosely-rendered representational art and my sheer determination to produce it at
the highest level have prevailed as an ideal formula for success. Finding
"My style involves balancing elements of realism and impressionism into
sensitive and often romantic works of art that satisfy my collectors and
admirers. I paint all of my paintings in a single painting session and
capture the entirety of each creation in high-definition video. Afterwards, I
render the raw un-edited footage down to a 3 minute time-lapse video of the entire process and make them available
to collectors and admirers by posting them on my website, YouTube and other
social networks. They're like little movies and people really seem to enjoy
watching each of my paintings unfold brushstroke by brushstroke."
USGA MUSEUM ACQUIRES PINCH
PORTRAITS
Pinch's 40"x30" portrait of the late PGA Tour sensation Payne Stewart
and his 40"x30" portrait of Tiger Woods hang in the United States Golf
Association Museum as permanent paintings in their exclusive collection.
In February 2004 the artist traveled to the USGA Headquarters in Far Hills, New Jersey, to
attend the unveiling of the portrait. Dr. Rand Jerris, Director of the USGA Museum &
Archives (pictured on left in adjacent photo ) is responsible for acquisitions and accepted the piece on behalf of the USGA
Museum.
Four years later in 2008, Pinch once again created a portrait for USGA
Museum - this time the subject was Tiger Woods. The painting was unveiled in
January 2008 at the annual Club Managers Association of America meeting in
Orlando, Florida. Tiger has won more USGA Championships than any other golfer in
their 109 year history and, within 4 short months following the acquisition of
Pinch's portrait by the USGA, Tiger won the 2008 US Open Championship at Torrey
Pines.
