He worked in the commercial advertising field for many years, and has had many of his designs used on mass market products, such as greeting cards, paper products, flags and banners, bar ware and linens.

For the past three years, Mr. De Mario has been executing house and commercial portraits for various local business clients. His specialty is three-dimensional cut-paper technique in a collage format, based on a photograph chosen by the client.
