ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This oil painting of nude men on the beach is one of a series of capricci or imaginary scenes mixing real with fantasy. It is inspired by the summer season and the carefree leisure for many beachgoers. In the making of this I prefer to do so with the medium of oil on linen. This combination permits a freedom in expression that neatly echoes the freedom of the imagination.

I am an easel painter who lives and works primarily in Philadelphia. Landscape has become my preferred subject matter. I make regular painting excursions Fairmount Park in Philadelphia and north on the Delaware River in Bucks County, PA. Farther afield, I travelled with my french easelbox to Manhattan, NY; Wien, OS; Oxford, UK; and Roma, IT. I graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, my work is exhibited internationally and included in private and public collections. Grants & fellowships include an Oxford University Summer Residency Fellowship in painting and anatomy; a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant for painting; the Samuel D. Gross/Thomas Eakins Award for Significant Contributions to Medicine and its Surrounding Culture by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia; the select alternate for a Senior Research Fulbright Scholarship for Italy; Independence Foundation Grant, and a Franz & Virginia Bader Fund Grant. Among the institutions at which I have lectured are Yale University Art Gallery, Philadelphia Museum of Art and Drexel School of Medicine. I have taught at the New York Academy of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art: Manhattan and Rome Programs.
