"ITALY AL FRESCA"
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED WITH THE
DIVERSITY OF PEOPLE AND PLACES IN THE WORLD.
Even though I grew up in a very small Indiana town, I had an early desire to experience far flung destinations as an artist. As a child, I remember sitting on the curb of the sidewalk at night in front of our family home,
fascinated with the idea of the Sputnik flying high above the earth. |
Little did I know I would visit Russia in my thirties as part of a cultural exchange with American and Russian artists. This led me to establishing a design firm in Taipei, Taiwan then teaching art and design in Wuxi, China. But it was when I traveled to France and Italy many years ago, that I was inspired by those great Renaissance artists, to paint on canvas.
My paintings are a reflection point of my life experiences. Maybe it’s a pear from the farmers market. Or a house glowing in early evening sunset in my neighborhood. But I also paint the places or things I am fortunate to be
experiencing now; the light illuminating an ancient olive grove in Greece when I visit my friends in Samos. Or sunrise flooding the Florence Duomo on my travels with my wife Carol to her ancestral homeland of Italy. The emotion in color. The energy of sunlight. The beauty of Imagination.

Nature Photographer - "I am a native westerner, born and raised in
Wyoming. However, the landscapes of the Hoosier heartland have captured my heart and informed my art. When I arrived in Indiana I kept an open mind and have found new inspiration for my nature work in the fields, farmlands and parks of the midwest. There is beauty all around us. All you have to do is slow down and look. By so doing, I found out that there is amazing of beauty in the American heartland."

Visual Artist - "It's a title you give yourself and then work over a lifetime to achieve. An archetypal position in a community, it brings responsibility to the collective spirit. Until I claimed my artist practice, I felt lost and unsure of any clear life direction. With a daily commitment to draw from a place of authenticity, it creates my life. It also creates a lot of drawings and paintings. Contemporary drawing is the core of my practice, using fragile, repurposed and temporal supports. I draw with ink, charcoal, and graphite as a documentation of my reality."

“My work is abstract and intuitive. There are references to geology, organic growth and the human figure. Contrasting textures, stained, partially glazed surfaces, and sprayed semi-matte glazes suggest ancient worn stone surfaces. A sense of expanding energy and entrophy exist side by side.
Ideas for new forms are found by creating many free sketches and models using various materials and techniques. The use of chance and improvisation in preliminary sketching welcomes subconscious responses.
