As an artist, my passion is trying to create Lyrical Abstractions. My point of view and methods are nothing new, but—I think—my paintings represent re-emerging sensibilities from our recent past. In this way, there is nothing new in my painting, except me as a painter. I'm sure other painters feel the same way
I try to paint spontaneously. The ideal of spontaneous painting is almost impossible. But, when the possible happens, the result is a good picture. I think we all judge good a picture from a bad one based on this notion.
I paint with gestures evoking time/space in motion, emotion, and undefined archaic inspiration from the invisible signs, symbols, and memories understood at some level by all of us. I typically build up layers and often deconstruct and paint-over until the painting is finished. For me, this process is troublesome at first, then finally contemplative and satisfying.
My education includes a BA in English with a focus on Writing, an MAeED in Online Adult Training, and I have completed successfully both traditional Film Photography, and Art History courses. Additionally, I have finished online Art Studio courses, and more recently, I have achieved favorably both “Management of Successful Art and Cultural Organizations” and “Art Culture Strategy” courses at the Devos Institute at College Park (UMD) and Pennsylvania University respectively.
I have worked as a Newspaper and Magazine Writer, Photographer, Instruction Designer, and Stained and Leaded Glass Artist.
