Newman’s journey to professional artistry is as compelling as his paintings. After spending over 15 years practicing law in Washington, D.C., he discovered his true calling when a friend gifted him painting tools. The choice became clear: he much preferred creating art to office life. At 36, Newman made the leap to become a full-time artist.Working primarily in oil while also exploring pastels, acrylics, and colored pencils, Newman specializes in landscapes, abstracts, and figures—often combining them in striking and creative ways. His artistic vision draws from diverse influences spanning 19th and 20th century American and European masters, including Giorgio Morandi, Edward Hopper, and Maurice de Vlaminck, alongside classical Baroque pioneers Georges de La Tour and Caravaggio. Represented in over ten galleries across Europe and North America, Newman maintains his studio at the Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts.
