About Me...
Born in Providence Rhode Island.

Am a graduate of The Otis College of Art in Los Angeles CA. (BFA in Drawing/Painting/Design), and the California State University at Long Beach CA (MFA in Drawing/Painting).

To date I do not have much of a “Professional Artist” history as I have been working at a trade outside of the arts to make a living (please see Resume section at end of BIO).

My life in Art started at age five when I began by drawing everything in sight as realistically as possible with a #2 pencil on any scrap of paper my mother would let me have. I have since that time evolved my own view of visual art.

I make my pieces from building materials, paper, oil paint, charcoal, water based paints, house paints and have just started making “Giclee” prints on canvas from my original works. Some of these prints are “painted into” with oil paint.

I find it important to incorporate what I call the “signs of making” into my work, ie, pencil marks, paper folds, scotch tape, nails/screw heads are all left visible.

My subject matter is primarily the human condition as I see it exists in the universe, a place I call “BlackLand”.

I have also begun to make three-dimensional stand alone paintings of board games, particularly chess. The first of these I call “Qubik”. It consists of four iterations of a three-dimensional chess game as played through a cube, displayed in a box.

More to come.
