Artist's Statement

"My work represents an exploration of visual ideas leading to a record of paths taken. Corrections, accidents and “do overs” are important on this journey. The work involves repeated adjustment while seeking something authentic. The image is an arena that contains the history of a struggle to achieve such an outcome. Many have influenced my progress as an artist. My college roommate, Bob Schwenck, an art major, got me started on this path. After college, I visited European Art Museums with my wife Lynn, and her support was another step on the way. As I progressed, several excellent art teachers were inspirational. Joe Blaustein and Elliot Elgart were especially encouraging. Also I was influenced by the work of famous artists such as Matisse, Gorky, DeKooning, Diebenkorn and Hockney. It has been an exciting journey.”
