Fine Wine Print

Born and raised in Upstate NY, I received my BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and have been professionally working as an artist since 1984. I was trained in the classical sense of studying light, color, and their effects upon the spatial interactions of forms within a given composition. The considerations of which are always fluctuating. Though the world has more than its share of problems, nature itself is perfect. It is nature that constantly pulls and compels me engaging my focus. I find it endlessly fascinating and inspirational. Observing nature and painting from it allows me in a very real sense to become a part of what it is I’m studying. Painting is transformative. My goal for every painting is to share my experience with an audience by seeing not only what I experienced visually, but perhaps even more importantly, what I experienced emotionally. If the work can evoke something within them then I consider that a success. Both for me and the observer.
