About The Artwork

Why outsider art? Serendipity I suppose. My sister worked for and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, and in her basement we found some 2’ x 4’ plywood signs that were left over from a project she had coordinated. These signs gave me an idea; Repurpose, Reclaim, Recycle. I’ve never had any art education or taken any training so I have the blissful benefit of not knowing what I don’t know… so why wouldn’t these signs have a second life as part of my art? I asked her to donate these signs to me so I could create artwork on the other side… the verso. She agreed, and thus began my outsider art journey. In addition to the verso sides of signs, I’ve worked on repurposed ceramic tiles, hardwood floor scraps, and glass. And yes; on some canvases from time to time.

After a 30 year career in advertising and sales leadership I escaped the corporate media world a few years ago and can now focus on creating my own work. In other words, I'm an outsider artist that has decades of ideas pouring out. My intent is primarily to create pieces of art that are highly visual and interesting to enjoy and study... but may often express ideas, ask questions, unearth feelings, debate opinions, or sometimes be provocative. Like many paintings though, they're often just a combination of lines, shapes, colors, textures, and space. That said; I hope my work presents a UNIQUE combination of art elements to you and that you like what you see. Better yet, I hope you believe some of my pieces should be included in your collection. I've traveled the world but have always lived in the Philadelphia area. While I have no formal training as an artist, I've been a photographer and I've been around the art community my whole life. My wife Suzanne works as a Docent for the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, and together we've raised three wonderful sons that are all now making their own way in the world. We have a home and our studio in Chester County PA with our Bernese Mountain Dog; Mr Charlie.
