About the Artist :

American Expressionist

Taking dramatic steps to represent color and form, his work is the touchstone of abstract and regional impressionism. Like his nineteenth century forbearers, he paints loosely, alla prima literally “all at once”; juxtaposing colors in short, choppy brush strokes. “Color harmony is the essential element of my work”, he states. “As I get older, I have come to think that the brushwork is most important, perhaps more so than the subject of the composition.”

A master of obscured space, his paintings bear upon the composition, but are left to the viewer to interpret. Telling too much in a painting can actually lock out participation of the viewer to interpret. Telling too much in a painting can actually lock out participation of the viewer. Suggestive nondisclosure leaves the door ajar. “I try to create a mood, rather than overwork it with details. This allows the imagination to complete the picture. My large, abstract canvases are usually composed of mixed media, using a combination of oils, acrylics, and solvents. I strive to orchestrate and push the boundaries of visual adventure.” The work had universal appeal and remains timeless. It is found in both private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Europe.
