Meet the Artist

Originally a classically trained painter and sculptor who employed traditional academic techniques with an emphasis on academic realism and naturalism, I now work predominantly on abstract works in a variety of mediums, both traditional and non-traditional.

My current work consists of intricate abstract paintings that are created with black oil-based paint upon primed and cradled panels, and are done entirely by freehand, without any preliminary sketches, prints, projections, or under-paintings.  

Each piece is relatively unplanned, as I try as best I can to allow for the ideas and mark makings to happen as naturally as possible.

At each given moment I am not entirely sure what the final work will look like or even how the mark I am currently making will ultimately affect my ever changing idea of how to proceed. The paintings tend to grow, so to speak, slowly but surely, until they are finally 'finished.' 

​

I like to think of all my paintings as snippets of one larger endless and continuing image.  Therefore, any piece that is purchased fits as a natural companion for any other of my pieces within this on-going series.​

​My work, as an artist, is influenced and inspired by my own life experiences and philosophies, combined with my studies of:

​

• Quantum Mechanics

• Cosmology

• Biology 

• Philosophy

• Ubuntu

• Taoism

• Buddhism

• Ancient history

• And other varied scientific

                                               & spiritual interests.  ​​
