About The Artwork

"Everybody in town knew about the cave. All the kids did at least. We used to ride our bikes along the base of the cliffs near the reservoir until we came to the the big split rock that pointed to the entrance. The story was passed down over the years that the rock had been hit by lightning as a warning to stay out of the cave. But we didn't stay out. Lots of kids before me had been inside the main area of the cave where the air was cool and you could stand up straight and walk around. That was kind of interesting but I wanted to see things no one else had ever seen. I figure I must have been the first person to crawl all the way down into the dark shaft in the back of the cave. I kept going further into the darkness because I could feel a slight warm breeze in my face coming from deep in the rock. I moved on my hands and knees as the opening got smaller and smaller and tighter and tighter, but I knew the warm breeze had to be coming from somewhere special up ahead..." Cave Art Redux comes with a free custom Red Oak frame made by the artist specifically for this piece. I began my "outsider artist" journey painting on the backs of obsolete Habitat for Humanity signs. When I had gone through all could find I turned to other hand lettered, ad hoc plywood signs like the kind one might find advertising yard sales or in concert venue parking lots. I flip them over and use the open wood panel to create art, including this piece. My entire series of 2 foot x 2 foot verso homemade sign artwork are all on clean plywood and would look great hanging in your home or office.

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.
