The Artist at work
Some of the paintings I have sold
Artist's Statement and Comments on Style
I chose to be an artist in 1987. Before that I was a writer.  I started out on oils for the first two years and during the next two years I worked in oils and acrylics.  So from 1992 to the present I haved worked only in acrylics.
I am often asked what I paint and why.
I paint realities I would like to be in. And I construct paintings I like to look at.
My journey as an artist has led me through some developmental phases.
Firstly, I painted paintings and enjoyed the reactions of my friends and neighbors to them. Then I took art classes in college and received expert criticism from the instructors, and good advice from classmates.
Next, I put on my first one man show.  I sold a painting.
