Predominantly self taught, he has run the gauntlet of painting styles, from photorealism to total abstraction. Believing that there is balance in the middle, Sterling has developed a style of painting that is expressive and interpretive with stylized shapes, bold design elements, and strong contrasts of light and dark values accentuated with rich colors.

His maturity of style and daring to be original has earned Sterling the respect of his peers and art aficionados throughout the world. These qualities, combined with his signature line of products, have contributed to his successful career as a watercolor workshop instructor, and his international acclaim.

"The week in Boca with you guys, Bob, and my classmates is very high on my list of best trip ever. To have the privilege to stand next to and watch a master produce his outstanding and creative works of art is etched in my mind forever. If I can be of value in your marketing effort please use me as a referral by email, Internet or phone. Sterling and Bob have the opportunity to create a great Boca partnership. I can never remember a week going by so fast--I didn't want it to end.

Thank you Bob and your staff for all of your hard work putting the package together, Sterling you are a great artist and teacher with a fine assistant and a special thank you to my fellow students.

I hope to see you next year in Boca and thank you all for a wonderful experience."
