About The Artwork

"They told us this was a harmless part of the seminar where we'll learn how to set and achieve our goals, and more importantly how to enjoy life at the same time. Fair enough. But then the very first thing they do after the doors shut and our shuttle van drives away is they tell us to take off our socks and shoes, roll up our trousers, and go outside to the fire walker's pit. We're going to be walking over hot coals? Now? I always said I wanted to try this but I think I just wanted to be heard saying so. I never thought I'd be actually standing here, at the end of a fifteen foot smoldering pit. A knot forms in my stomach and my mouth is suddenly parched. I can hear my heart beating... and it's loud. My socks and shoes await me over near the ice plunge and first aid station..." This one-of-a-kind photograph was taken while working on an experimental series of paintings that introduces ICE into my creative process. No hot coals, only party ice, multiple types, textures, and colors of paint, time,... and patience. The work is mounted on a hardwood plaque with a clear sheet of protective plastic. There is an unmistakable 3D illusion when looking at this piece, especially from directly in front (see other image). In fact; it's hard NOT to stare at this piece...

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.
