Although he had pursued painting as his minor at the Institute, it was not until 2005 that he resumed painting. His interest had been revived through class and study work at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art. Rendered in the traditional "plein-aire" style of the Impressionists, his painting investigates the changing landscapes of Southern California. Frequent trips to Ohio have provided a diversity of subject matter, some of which he shares here. "These two areas provide differences of light and foliage, the subtleties of which continue to intrigue me." Portraiture rendered in the "historical styles" of John Singer Sargent and Gilbert Stuart and the occasional cast sculpture round out the artist's pursuits.

Guests are encouraged to offer comment when visiting Mr. Kovacic's gallery and to inquire about individual works and commissions. New works are frequently posted.

"Reconciling the traditions established by past masters with modern sensibilities is the route that I now travel."
