The gift of a glass pyramid from my wife started me on an exploration of this very basic shape. Now, more than 30 large and small paintings later, I'm still surprised at its potential — from the monumental structures of ancient Egypt to the depth of 31's Pyratangle and the fun of Pyramid No. 26. This painting is framed. See the detail photo for the full effect.

My journey as an artist starts in a rough corner of war-torn Liverpool, where I got my first job at an ad agency at age 15. It winds across the Atlantic and through an award-winning career as an Advertising Art Director in the midst of the Mad Men era and later as an Illustrator. It wasn't until I retired in Philadelphia that I turned to painting full time. That journey continues even today, as I work through my nineties. My abstract work grew out of subconscious scribbles I made while I talked to clients on the phone. Elaborate doodles on the smallest Post-it® Notes would evolve over several days, and eventually, a miniature collection of Post-it art studded the walls and work surfaces of my studio. When I retired from the ad world, I let my imagination loose on a much larger canvas. Some of those little doodles became 8-foot paintings. I call those new paintings "Collimations", because they came from a parallel creative process – abstraction versus realism. As I followed my imagination with new "Collimations", I rediscovered the basic geometry of art, those 5 shapes that give dimension to all forms: the sphere, the cube, the pyramid, the cone and the cylinder. Of these, I found the multifaceted, multidimensional planes of the pyramid most appealing. Its shape lets me explore perspective and light in unusual and unexpected ways, to escape the confines of a two-dimensional canvas. What the pyramid really gives me is a place to hang my color.
