About The Artwork

The house was right on Atlantic Avenue in Ocean City so no more than a few hundred yards from the beach. There was a porch in the front with a few steps down to the sidewalk and a space maybe five feet wide between our house and Ed's Deli. Yes... the legendary "Fill Your Belly at Ed's Deli". Ed's was on the corner and did quite the brisk business all summer. Across Atlantic on the way to the ocean was the 24-Hour Cheesesteak Stand. In fact; that might even have been the name of the joint. Our rule of thumb was to eat all meals from Ed's whenever they were open with the logic that it had to be healthier, but between 10 PM and 7 AM our only choice was the cheeseskunks. Many a breakfast was "enjoyed" there on the way home from the nightclubs and parties that summer. The trick was finding a place to sleep once you got back to the house since there were ten renters named on the lease (with approval for an unnamed occasional eleventh) but only six beds. Best case scenario we were sleeping in shifts, often all day for some guys and often on the beach. As it turned out though, at least ten people laid claim to the "Occasional 11th" designation so that meant twenty or more knuckleheads piled into the house some weekends. Not counting girlfriends, dates, and other visitors met and invited back to the house along the way somewhere. If you're picturing a Chateau Marmot-type scene you're not too far off, and yes we got evicted before the end of the summer. I blame the landlord. What was he thinking?

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.
