My
artistic development was based on
two years study at the Ringling
School of Art, Sarasota Florida, and
one year at UW-Stevens Point; also
on study of old and modern masters
at museums throughout England,
Europe and North America.
I have
studied and attempted most styles of
painting in order to understand the
progression of western art.
Presently, I do both figurative and
abstract painting, attempting to
learn from both methods and to
eventually fuse on esthetic style.
My primary interest is to develop
the esthetic value of painting
rather than to convey any
sociopolitical meaning; however, the
latter does happen on occasion.
My primary medium is oil on
canvas or wood panel, with sizes
ranging from 9x12 inches to 48x96
inches. The most common size is in
the range of 24x30inches.
To assure prospective collectors,
all works on canvas have been
prepared by isolating the oil paint
from the canvas with rabbit skin
glue and oil primer; works on wood
panel have been prepared with gesso
primer on the panel. Any works on
paper have been prepared with a
gesso primer to isolate the oil from
the paper. Sizes are in inches and
may vary somewhat from actual.
