About The Artwork

My paintings begin with a gesture which is an expressive line created by observing nature, the human figure, or dictated by an emotion. I then abstract and push and pull the gestural line adding bold colors while allowing ideas to emerge from and recede into the canvas. This energy creates surfaces of over lapping shapes though the use of space while creating depth and movement.My success in creating abstract work is in the process of color, shape, and movement through gesture rather than the representational form. "Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes..Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas." Arshile Gorky the work is oil on museum quality canvas i hope the viewers are simulated by the push and pull. The work is oil on canvas.

I was born in a small town in northeastern Wisconsin. I remember always being drawn to the arts. I went on to graduate with a degree in architecture. I worked as an architect for 25 years, for many of those years I focused on high rise commercial projects, cresting many major architectural wonders that dot the skylines of London, Shanghai, Barcelona and Chicago. In 2008 i retired from architecture so that i could paint on a full time basis. In the first couple of years i did several group shows and numerous solo shows. I consider myself a self taught painter. My first love was and greatest early focus was in Abstraction. My beginning works were architectural in nature. I departed from that when i realized the constrictions and limitations of the architectural form. Eventually I discovered the human form as a subject matter. I found the human form to be a hierarchy of structures but believe that a painting starts with a gesture re-inferring some of the symmetry and nuance my original training. I like to start a painting with a field of human gestures, then i go back in and exploit the more pronounced shapes in the human form. From here I am that fine line between abstraction and realism. The shapes and forms I emphasize start to add patterns and direction to the painting. It is here that abstraction takes over and the original gestures of the human form take on a new language.
