My passion for art started at an early age and continues as a self motivated artist. I have attended (and taught) many classes and workshops and studied under many great artists including John Ebersberger, Tony Griffin, David Dunlop, Mike Rooney, Scott Boyle, Jeremy Sams, Eric McRay, Dick Ensing, and John Cox. For over ten years, I expressed my creativity professionally through photography. My wife, Tami, and I owned and operated Photography by Rosage, a portrait studio in Jacksonville, North Carolina. For the past 15 years, I have expressed my artistic creativity as a fine arts painter with gallery representation at Baxter's Fine Art Gallery in New Bern, Council for the Arts in Jacksonville, Community for the Arts in Kinston, and Todd Mercantile Gallery in Todd, NC. I also maintain an online gallery shop of artwork at Etsy. I am a full time employee with Onslow County Schools as the art teacher at Jacksonville High School. I also teach art workshops to artists of all ages through my business, Onslow Art Expressions.
Today, my students, have a direct lineage to Claude Monet, the Father of Impressionism. The lineage of my instruction goes back through John Ebersberger who I had the privilege of studying under during the summer of 2015. Ebersberger was a student of Henry Hensche. Henshe's teacher was Charles Webster Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art and who studied under William Merritt Chase. Chase was Monet's contemporary and considered the Father of American Impressionism.

Classes and workshops are designed to meet each student at his or her present skill level and cover a wide array of subjects and themes. Bernie works with children, teens, and adults through classes and workshops in group settings, often at the Jean Wenner Studio at the Council for the Arts. Bernie works full time in the Onslow County School system as an art teacher at Jacksonville High School and offers workshops as time permits. Bernie will continue his "How Great Thou ART" adult painting classes throughout the year.
