Revelation"Revelation" I was invited to create this painting as part of "Into the Light," a benefit show curated by Bridgette Mayer Johnson, owner of Bridgette Mayer Gallery in Philadelphia.
I am very grateful that my piece was purchased and that I was able to help support Friends of the Rail Park in their efforts to revitalize three miles of rail lines for use as a beautiful public space in Philadelphia.

Foraging Field"Foraging Field" This painting was selected for the "82nd National Midyear Show," at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH, by the talented New York painter and sculptor, Peter Reginato.
I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Ohio for the opening reception and awards at the museum and to see its wonderful collection in person. Definitely a highlight of my art career to date!

New Paintings 2022
For me, the landscape is the holy sanctuary of the earth. It is wild and free and elemental--much like the nature of man. My newest work continues my use of abstracted landscapes as a metaphor to express the holiness of all of creation--the depth of what lies beneath the surface of life.
Paintings 2021
My current painting practice and methods are spontaneous and come from within. I have no preconceived ideas beyond selection of colors and a strong desire to express with paint. Large brushstrokes, vigorous gestures and drawing directly on the canvas from paint jars are some of the techniques I use to make compelling statements on small canvases. I add depth to non-representational elements to take the viewer deeper into my vision of the world. My abstractions express emotions, the profound dynamics of the human experience, and the depth of what lies beneath the surface of life.
All paintings are 8" x 10" horizontal or vertical, unless otherwise specified.

Sketches
Drawing from life is meditation. It informs the artistic process in every way, regardless of the style of an artist's work.

Self Portrait Aug 7 2022A new self-portrait from direct observation (looking into a mirror).
I try to do one every couple of years. This one was especially hard. I need to wear my glasses to see close details and draw them but did not want to include my glasses in the portrait. My hair has grown since my FB profile pic. Luckily, the light was diffuse so only a minimum of wrinkles were visible.
12" x 9", conte crayon on toned Strathmore paper, 2022
Colored Pencil Drawings
Small works on paper in one of my favorite mediums. Images are on 9x12 paper.
Paintings 2018-2019

The piece was sold and I am happy to have been part of this great project to transform unused railways into beautiful public use spaces in Philly.

Views from My Rooms
A few of the hundreds of sunset photos I began taking on an almost daily basis in 2013 and posting to Facebook. All of these were shot from my apartment windows with a small cyber-shot camera and are completely unedited. Most of this group was created in 2020-2022.
