I’m a contemporary expressionist with a loaded brush. In the past comedians and poets. I began to explore landscape and city scape
my paintings of enigmatic creatures combined human, animal and painting, done on location. Larger city scape paintings done from my
imaginary elements. I have since integrated these themes with studio window became the new setting for musicians and other wild
my interest in music. “Fish n Musicians” grew out of my diving animals. Zebras grazing in a school yard while a large cat strolls down
experiences in the Bahamas-underwater imagery soon found its the sidewalk and a sax player serenades the corner. Or a concert takes
way into my paintings of performing musicians. Some evenings place in a car wash with wild animals looking on. Simultaneously I
are spent in clubs sketching the musicians. Other times are spent began to paint on metal, or attaching metal onto canvas paintings and
combining the images of the players and juxtaposing them with my using metal objects to dictate shapes in my abstract paintings. This
imaginary landscapes. Sketching the musicians has developed into has lead to the creation of abstract paintings done with the exploration
the occasional performance painting done in nightclubs as well as of a variety of materials. Some paintings have musical or city scape
on the street. Usually it is musicians but I have also painted dancers, elements integrated into them while others are purely abstract.
