A Brief History

Reading science fiction and fantasy novels and listening to Music by Yes, Genesis & King Crimson sparked my early interest in painting. During High School and College, I studied art, music and photography. My first enjoyment of abstract expressionism was through Jackson Pollock’s work, sensing the energy in his drip paintings. From that, I gained an appreciation of abstracts. This led me to explore the textural works of Clifford Still and the color studies of Hans Hoffman. I continue to learn by reading, attending workshops and by experimenting with new techniques and media.
