Memento of the self Drawing

A Realist Figurative artist with an emphasis on idealized male identity, expressing sensuous tactility, with figures positioned in luminous atmospheric space. Sometimes frank but not transgressive disposition of flesh and form. I have been strongly inspired by diverse artistic influences - Paul Cadmus, Lucien Freud, Jared French, Don Bachardy, Jan Vermeer, Caravaggio, Botticelli and Piero Della Francesca to name a few. I live and work in North Scottsdale, Arizona, where the natural desert terrain presents sweeping deep views into the infinite - coupled with unparalleled light - which all filters into my work.
