The Influencer, oil on canvas, 36x48.jpg

As a painter for more than 30 years the single most important lesson I can convey is to be original, paint from the soul and love what you do because the rest is just chaos theory disguised as a business.

I’m basically a process guy, so I live for manic, adrenaline infused studio marathons filled with experimentation, fear, faith and literally tons of profanity; constantly drunk with creative lust or hungover with bad ideas (that later turned out to be good) and all of it in steady chase of my truest self.

The work opines the space between real and abstract and is anchored into the physical world using both nature and figure as muse. These genres are then bonded into a cohesive body through color. Being partially color blind, I use color more as a weapon of indelicacy where subtlety is tested, even strained, while still achieving a cosmopolitan of sublime.

My works have been shown in the US and internationally and have been placed within corporate and private collections throughout the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
