ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Painting is human beings' direct access to magic. The artist is granted the privilege of releasing his inner being with each stroke, while the viewer is granted access to a separate reality each time he looks upon the painter's work. Georgia O'Keefe called this "making your unknown known". I call it "embracing the unexpected". The purpose of art is to cause thought; as I approach a canvas I am ever mindful of the rare freedom and responsibility to share my unknown.

This is a double purpose website: PART I is devoted to my current work as a fine art painter -- new works, news, announcements, etc. PART II deals solely with a history/portfolio of my work in the theatre.
