Bio

I have been an Artist, Art Instructor for over 30 years. Along the way I have been an Illustrator, arts administrator, and gallery director. My work is included in various public collections including the Boston Public Library, The Addison Gallery of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, and Rutgers University. My work has been shown nationally, having been included in two Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibitions (SITES), a number of national competitive exhibitions and many private galleries including Alan Stone in NY, and Sherry Frumkin in Los Angeles. I have had 2 one-person Museum exhibitions of my work: The Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover MA, and at the University of Oregon Museum, in Eugene OR.

Work
My work has been described as Organic abstraction and/or Biomorphic, but is not really abstract so much as being a figurative response to a subconscious interpretation of accident. By creating accidents on a surface and then reacting to my subconscious interpretations of those accidents I have hoped to find new ground as an offshoot of that junction between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism and hopefully to impose my own sensibility. What do they mean? Well, they are open to interpretation but for me most have a dark connotation that I think shows through when I get at what I want.
