Presentation
Artist Statement:
As a child growing up in Philadelphia, I had a real sense of community connection. I played lots of team sports. After graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts I worked for Fairmount Park as a Recreation Director for over thirty years. I was surrounded by beauty and people having fun. I have traveled extensively and I think that my paintings are a collective expression of the people in my life, events, places and activities.
As I paint and create I am interpreting the world around me. My art reflects my love of shapes in space, handsome and vibrant color, balance and classical rhythm. Each work is an intrinsic part of myself, reflecting hours, weeks, and sometimes years of my intimate relationship with my painting. When I am finally satisfied enough to place my work before the viewer, you will have a glimpse into my soul and part of my being.
I primarily work in acrylic and paint abstractly. I would describe myself as an Abstract Expressionist, a Geometric Constructionist, I paint spontaneously, directly from my hand to the canvas. Compositions develop as I work. All of my work is original and one of a kind. It is my opinion, no work of art is ever completed.
