About Me
My Background
As a kid, I enjoyed paint-by-numbers and drawing techniques that a babysitter, who was an Artist, taught to me. In junior high school, my favorite subject was Art.
My first career was in Television, as a Film Editor and Producer for 20 years. I retired as a lawyer after working in a court system for many years.
Since 2004, my art education has been self-directed and has benefitted from former study at the School of a Museum of Fine Arts; guidance from a Mentor; an Art Colony; participation in Art Festivals, juried Art Gallery exhibitions; and my study of drawing, collage, and painting techniques.
My Medium
I use acrylics on stretched canvas and fine paper. The geometric forms and highlights in my compositions are gouache, ink, hand-made papers, and watercolor.
My Inspiration
My style of painting is described as Abstract and Expressionist. Although the SUBJECT MATTER is non-representational the source of my subjects originate from the Earth's 'natural' environments and wildlife I observe during daily walks. Geometric forms and images are from my observation of the night sky.
