Using large ( & small ) trowels, I apply heavy layers of paint on canvas, masonite and plywood where images are important with concern for abstraction and simplification.   I focus on the singleness of objects where a chair becomes a portrait.   The bold gestural spontaneity of my art emerges as a personal and distinctive style invoking a sense of delight, freshness and discovery.

"The cumulative effect of my three dimensional design experience coupled with teaching perspective drawing, design history and theory, and having showrooms full of 'chairs', 
has found a direct release in painting.   I wish to put the viewer in direct contact with my motivation for recording an experience."
