About The Artwork
"I am a great admirer of mystery and magic. Look at this life - all mystery and magic." Harry Houdini The central gold diamond constantly draws your eye back as an anchor as you look the piece over. The mysterious looking gem is made of thick epoxy mixed with gold flake. The title for this piece came to me while working on it one afternoon listening to a classic rock album by Fleetwood Mac that's probably 45 years old. I find that my art is often influenced and inspired by the music I’m listening to at the time… or is the music I decide to listen to inspired by the art coming out of my head? Both maybe? 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 Mystery To Me. In this case you will be able to see the “Congrats Grads” sign that was used on a lawn for a neighborhood drive-by parade during the COVID-19 quarantine period in 2020. My entire series of 2 foot x 2 foot verso homemade sign artwork are all on clean plywood and weigh ~3.5 lbs and they all will need to be hung in a frame.

United States
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.
