I am delighted and honored to share an article I collaborated on with Fine Artist, Steve Alpert, that has recently posted in The Military Times.
Read the incredible story of Steve’s inspirational 20+ year journey in creating Contemporary American Military Art that celebrates, honors and gives back to the Military community.

The Journey continues. Stay tuned for more updates through Steve’s social media and my blogs! So proud of Steve and so honored to be working with him in capturing so many of these historic events.
ABOUT STEVE ALPERT
Steve Alpert is a native New Yorker and fine art painter whose work covers a wide range of subject matter including land/sea/skyscapes, military, abstract, and portraiture. Alpert best describes himself as a non-conformist who draws from many different moments in his life that have inspired and shaped his work. Painting is my reverie, my serenity, my never-ending pursuit of who I am
However, it is Alpert’s Contemporary American Military paintings that are the foundation of his collection and what distinguishes him from many of his fellow artists.
Alpert’s work has been exhibited at the home of the President (Biden) and fine art galleries across the United States. His military work is part of the permanent collection of the Pentagon, the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico VA, the Naval War College at Newport RI, the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, Dover DE, and the Institute of World Politics in Washington DC. Through generous donations of his artwork, Alpert has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes that support the men and women of our United States Armed Forces and their families including Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation and Fisher Houses. Most recently he was nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Distinguished Citizen Award.
Alpert has authored two books, Worth Fighting For, The Path of a Patriot and Proudly She Served, Celebrating Women in Uniform and he is currently working on a third book, Fellow Traveler, The Contemporary American Paintings of Steve Alpert. He is also an adjunct professor of art at Fordham University, where he offers art workshops to veterans.
