Counter Point Painting

As an artist, I paint on a variety of supports using various media, and sculpt primarily in wood and metals.  Coming out of the corporate world of L. L. Bean in my earlier days, I have been a creative driven entrepreneur for 30 years.  In my former career as a management consultant I counted some of the nation’s most highly regarded companies as clients.    At the mid-point of my life, as a designer of custom furniture and with the assistance of several very capable artisan grade builders, I created and produced the brands of Katahdin Studio Furniture, Zen Harbor Living and Katahdin Home.  My work sold world-wide, often to a celebrity clientele, including Melissa Etheridge, Andy Griffith, and the Jay Leno Show.    Today, I am once again an independent artist and designer.  Art plays a role in everyone’s existence… sometimes deliberately and sometimes indirectly.  I am fortunate to have been able to incorporate art in many of its forms in all that has occupied my life.  I would be honored to share my art with you.   J.
