The art
Much of my work is inspired and learned from the artists and poets of the New York School. The impetus and courage of abstract expressionist painting in the 1950s changed the art world and its definition of art. As I paint, and what I paint, is a record of personal transitions through my life and the influence these artists have had on my work.
I prefer to present multimedia abstract versions of real sightings, writings, images, and experiences. I find abstraction a compelling and ironic way to represent my primary inspiration. Once inspired by something, I am immediately removed from it when trying to capture it in my work. You will often find words, drawings or markings, embedded in my work, which represent the initial inspiration for that piece.
“Art Is Revelation…”
I am reluctant to describe my work in detail as I feel art should stand on its own and compel the viewer. I believe the words of Josef Albers that “Art is concerned with something that cannot be explained by words or literal description. Art is revelation instead of information, expression instead of description.”
