Artist Statement:
Painting is the language I use to both contemplate and understand. When I finished art school, I often wondered what validity was required to make art, to pursue something so singularly personal and have others around take any interest in that endeavor. That doubt led me into many paths.
Being a figurative painter, and envying the idea that great masters like Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo had done many anatomical cadaver dissections to understand the human form, I applied to and finished medical school and a surgical residency in Plastic Surgery. Somehow, the universe decided for me that painting would remain my main and only pursuit and I have been painting full-time in Paris, France for the past 12 years, having put aside any regular practice of surgery.
Representational figurative painting has a long history and is one of the most wonderful yet challenging practices. It requires knowledge of the exterior world and yet has so many components of abstraction that it requires an artist like myself to not only engage with my interior understanding of pictorial construction (the abstraction of art) but also the most prolonged contemplation of the workings of the external world (the representational aspect of art).
Education:
MFA in Painting, Indiana University (Bloomington) 1994-1996
BFA in Painting, Andrews University 1989-1993
Vermont Studio Center (as a staff artist) 1993-1994

Professional/Teaching Experience:
I was a teaching assistant during my MFA education, teaching a course in drawing from perception/direct observation.
Artistic Influences:
My influences are diverse, from the painterly physicality of the Venetian Renaissance embodied by Titian to the bold early modernity of Manet, from the grace and dignity of Van Dyck to the emotive dazzle of Chaim Soutine. Current contemporary painters I admire include Matt Bollinger, Angela Dufresne and Gerard Garouste
