As an abstract painter, my inspiration is both selective and indiscriminate. After the initial influence sparks the beginning of a painting, the piece generally takes on a vision of it’s own, a relationship develops between the piece and myself, occasionally conflicts must be overcome…art imitates life.
Working on canvas, metal, Plexiglas and wood, I paint exclusively with a palette knife and utilize various materials in my mixed media work, including acrylic and oils and often, raw materials such as sand.
My work has evolved over the years and continues to undergo numerous transformations. Unwittingly challenging the notion that consistency and logical progression are prerequisites for legitimization in a career, my signature alone remains my signature style.
I am both a patron of the arts, finding great pleasure in collecting fine art, and benefactor, utilizing my work as a means for supporting worthy causes.
The ultimate intention of my work is to evoke an emotional response. A strong feeling of any kind, good or bad, indicates passion, and with passion we are able to live life to its fullest.
