Hello!
Thank you for looking at my website!
I work mostly with the image of the human figure. My emphasis is on the male figure and contemporary portrait paintings. These images frequently feature the person or people in some unguarded or relaxed moment. I often choose non-realistic colors to produce a “realistic” representation and often work with the space surrounding the figure to produce a merging figure/space relationship.
In my work life I'm a licensed massage therapist and work with the human body hands-on. As a health care provider, I use my skills of observation, with detachment. This is a private and confidential experience between me and my client. When I paint the figure, I'm exploring and relating to the human body in a different way. I use my skills of observation but this time with involvement...emotional, visceral and visual. However, this time my experience is not private and confidential; it's not to be kept secret but instead I present it to the public.
I have a BFA in drawing and a BA in Art History from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
I have worked in advertising design and writing for 25 years and as a Licensed Massage Therapist for the last 16 years. With the construction of my new studio, I have recently returned to painting after many years of intermittent work.
I am available for commissioned work. You may e-mail me here.
