In such a purely subjective field be original and love what you do. After all, it’s really not about the end result, but the sweet, sweet ride getting there.
To that I've survived and thrived in 30 + years of manic studio marathons; ventures fueled with adrenaline, curiosity, fear and faith; drunk with creative lust, hungover with bad ideas (that later turned out to be good) and all of it in steady chase of my truest self.
My paintings opine the space between real and abstract and are 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 was (often) told not to paint, and because of that I’ve decided that color is best used as a weapon of indelicacy. I’m always pushing well beyond subtle yet, in the end, 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.
