Pleasing, Primary and Primitive Painting

I was born December 15, 1938 in Albion, New York. I moved to Riviera Beach, Florida with my parents in 1955 when I was 17. There I graduated from Palm Beach high school in 1956. I chose Art as my Major at Palm Beach Junior College where I graduated with an AA Fine Art Degree in 1958 studying under the direction of Nina K. Jensen. I also spent two years of study and practice with a correspondence course from Famous Artist school in Westport, Connecticut in 1959. For the next 27 years several major business firms employed me as a Technical Illustrator, Electrical/Mechanical Draftsman , Designer and Layout Draftsman I have worked with Oil paint, watercolor, acrylic paint, pastels, charcoal, pen and ink mediums in the past and I am presently working with collage or assemblage sculpture using plated materials, woods, plastics, minerals, gemstones (semi-precious), glass and ceramic. I have had sculpture exhibitions in Santa Fe, Taos and Questa, New Mexico Georgia, Florida and Arizona. I moved to South Florida with my wife of 50 years and am returning to the art concept that I love, mixed media art, and refer to myself as a Creative Constructionist.
