Mandolin with Cherries Painting

Born: 1953, St.Paul, Minnesota My work explores concepts or challenges to the conventional forms of representation. Being a self-taught artist, I have engaged my own intuitions and perceptions of the creative process. A passion for Cubism is immediately visible in the majority of my paintings and is the primary reason I began to paint. The intrigue of geometrical forms and overlapping planes captivated me to take this journey. The challenge or continued pursuit for me is to discover something fresh or unique that represents and reflects creativity, purpose, and value. With this in mind, I enjoy trying new things and allowing the discovery process to encourage and motivate me to continue.
