Arthur Moniz has been creating maritime art for nearly 40 years. Requests from both Japan and Portugal have led to one-man shows of his works in those countries, featuring his signature style of graphite-and-watercolor, which renders sharp detail as well as soft subtlety. You can see that effect by looking closely at this work, Whaler Fitting Out For Voyage.

Whaling vessels are very appropriate subjects for artwork hanging in the Arthur Moniz Gallery: It's located in the Whaling National Park in New Bedford, MA - once THE capital of the US whaling industry!
