About The Artwork

July 1986. I was lying to myself if I thought I'd make it back to the villa before dark, at least not by sticking to the path I'd taken to the beach that morning. My only hope was to cut across the valley and make my way up the hill to the top of the ridge. From there I should be able to see parts of the compound, or at least the three satellite towers on the high ground behind the stables. Imagine that. Satellites in space that send and receive signals connected to phones in cars and briefcases just like on Get Smart. Who'da thunk? It would be great to have one of those right now since I must be ten miles from the safety of the walls and the security guards... and it was getting dark fast. When I reached the far end of the valley the first thing I noticed was how the light coming through the foliage created almost a "soft focus" effect on the valley floor. And the sweet fragrance? Fahgeddaboudit! The vines and flowers along with the lighting and the aroma turned the area into a magical kind of tranquility garden. It would have been a perfect place to rest on the way back to the villa were it not for the highwaymen and banditos that roamed the countryside at night. Assuming I make it home I'll have to remember to find this tranquility garden again someday.

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.
