Sunrise Dance Painting

While I was in graduate school I began to paint as a relief from stress. My art has been heavily influenced by Vasarely, Kelly, Agam, Newman and Stella so my earliest works are derivative of these artists. My works date from the mid-1970's and have evolved correspondingly to the present. In addition to being an Artist, I also have been collecting modern art since I was a teen. The first piece of art I ever bought was a reproduction of Picasso's "Femme" (which I still have and display). The next piece was a Vasarely print entitled "Folklore" (still have that too). As I have matured as a collector, I have developed a taste for original works by unknown (or relatively unknown) Artists. For me collecting art is less about investing and more about aesthetics. While I would like to own an original DeKooning or Diebenkorn for their artistic content, I know that it is unlikely I will ever have the financial means to do so. I have only produced around 180 art works since I began painting in 1975. My works are few and I do not part with them easily. Each has meaning for me for my own appreciation and enjoyment. It is my hope that you deem my work worthy of viewing and perhaps even enough so to purchase.
