Shore Cottage | Misquamicut, Rhode Island // I always knew I was going to be an artist. I went to the Silvermine College of Art and then the School of Visual Arts, Film School in New York. // Today I run Pettys Productions out of my home in Misquamicut, where I have a full Avid Video Editing Suite. I also write articles for publication, create fine art photography and produce historical documentaries. The most recent documentary “The Last Voyage of the U-853” about the U-boat sunk off Block Island was shown on RI-PBS. // I love nature and the sea, so a lot of my work is and will be stories about the people and life along the New England coast.
