Three Dancers with Sapphire Painting

“ART THAT HALTS YOU IS ART THAT MOVES YOU” This is my personal maxim. As we walk around an art exhibit, we often stop to view a work that catches our eye. An emotion is evoked in us by that work. This is what I hope to bring forth with my paintings. Contemporary abstract art has the ability to capture various emotions and evoke differing viewpoints. I work with the hope of eliciting that, as I apply my colors and organize my compositions. I have served as a maritime captain, commanding a research vessel for several years. That experience added exciting dimensions to my paintings, as I saw my work take a pivot into different styles. I have been painting with oils for over 30 years, and new experiences and life challenges often directly influence my work, bringing newness and exploration. I hope my art finds your eye, and brings you the joy of discovery.
