Contact & Artist Statement

As an artist I am compelled by images of people… their face, their context , their vibration and anything else that alerts my senses to the point of wanting to paint them. (See section called Portraits)

During my professional life of 40 years as an accountant, I struggled to live my life as an artist, to find the time to actually paint.  

My work as an artist has taken me in several different directions. I painted portraits of my family, friends and acquaintances, attempting always to garner an essential element of their spirit. 

I also have a series of Plants and Natural objects (section not included at this time).

Recently I have created a series of paintings that are abstract. (Section not included at this time)

A number of my paintings depict the conflict between the world as the Artist, the Poet, and the Accountant.  (See section call "The Delimna")

More recently, my paintings have a free form best described as ‘portraits of my mind’ using a very different technique.   I refer to  this  technique as "first thought best thought" , resulting in a  totally different style. (See section called "Portraits of my  Mind"
