About the Artist
Over the years my art has evolved from realism, (1970-1977) to abstract, (1978-1990) to figurative (1991-2010) and back to abstract (2010-present).
The subject of wireless communications technology fascinated me since 2010. I imagine the billions of daily transmissions as various shapes, sizes and speeds
making a crowd of busy, mind-boggling patterns in every possible layer of global air space. Still there is clarity. A lot of my inspiration comes from popular culture found in fabric designs, advertising design, interior spaces, architecture, television and the web. All this merges to express our culture.
My other inspiration comes from the art of ancient cultures, the shapes and repeated patterns seem to have a strong visual foundation. The old and new cultures have given me the ability to express the subject of wireless technology.
In the past few years I traveled to Spain, Greece, and China. These cultures have made a large impact on me and my art. Discovering unique approaches in painting maintains my interest and I constantly strive for it.
My approach to painting is complex, very similar to the subject. I use a combination of various media, watercolor, stain, limestone, acrylic, chalk, crayons, tread, and rice paper, to give me a large range of expression.
I use alternative tools and many times I build implements in order to move the paint uniquely. This evolving process has great appeal for me, and results in something unexpected in the viewing experience of my work.
