Early in Larry’s Career: Don’t wait for college graduation. Don’t wait for the perfect help wanted advertisements! Approach those companies and organizations that define the creative and artistic opportunities that you want to be involved with, while you are still in school. I entered art, photography and writing competitions. I worked as a marketing, advertising, PR and graphic design director for local and national companies. I built a complete career based upon my true love of the fine arts, commercial and fine art photography.

Larry’s Mid-Career: I began by working in a large advertising agency as an artist and photographer while also assisting the broadcast producer. I later became head of advertising and marketing for a national supermarket chain. I was then recruited to head marketing, advertising and PR for Steppes Beauticians, a national salon chain. Later, I was Director of Marketing for Circle Fine Art. Circle Fine Art was respected as the world’s largest fine art publisher and art gallery chain, where we provided marketing for Peter Max, Erté, Yaacov Agam, Norman Rockwell, LeRoy Neiman, Marcel Mouley, Walt Disney Studios and many internationally respected artists. Before founding Marketing Solutions, I was formerly a Vice President of Marketing at Regis Corporation and Creative Hairdressers / The Hair Cuttery, two internationally respected beauty care salon chain companies.

Started a company called – Marketing Solutions:  I launched Marketing Solutions as a full-service marketing, advertising, graphic design, photography and PR agency specializing in the professional beauty, salon, spa, health, wellness and medical industries – having worked with professional beauty care companies from across the globe. At Marketing Solutions, our team creates professional full-service marketing strategies.

Started another company called Art Beautique Collections:  I also launched Art Beautique as a virtual art gallery servicing homes, offices, spas, salons and medical centers. This synergized business is run simultaneously with Marketing Solutions. The Art Beautique Collection celebrates the beauty of life. Some of the various collections include images from beautycare, glamour, nature, flowers, animals, landscapes and world capitals.

Celebrating A Career In Art!  I have exhibited my original limited edition professional artwork in private art galleries and city museums across the USA, Canada and the world. My accomplishments include exhibiting at the famous Albright-Knox Art Gallery. I continue to regularly exhibit my fine art photography collections within art galleries.
