I am an abstract artist represented by BeatyAmerican in Olde Kensington, Philadelphia. My paintings include a series of Arctic landscapes which are based on images of arctic glaciers, tundra, and sea ice mainly in Greenland and Iceland. I have been selected as the featured artist for the BeatyAmerican new space with NEXTFAB at 1800 American Street, Philadelphia. I am drawn to the elements of the Arctic sea, land, and sky and the interface among these bodies. Decisions are made what features and elements will remain and what will be discarded, reflecting a rapidly changing landscape yet still beautiful. I work with oil paint, wet on dry, on wood panels with cradled frames establishing texture and depth using brushes, palette knives, oil sticks, and oil pens. Completed paintings are professionally framed and ready to hang. Earlier work focused on urban landscapes, refineries, bridges, buildings, other structures, and geometric patterns of developed lands and built environments.

Composing in series, and often series within series, all of my projects from the past couple of decades have dealt with social issues, and more recently have embraced text as both content and image: * states of mind as one-word declarations (SO I WAS, LIKE....) * the interior lives of artists (DESIDERATUM) * odd courting and mating habits in the animal kingdom that sometimes echo our own (RE:PRODUCTION – Portraits) * the dysfunction of todays politics seen through an historical perspective (WHEEL, DEAL, STEAL, THEN SPIN) * death – it’s customs, euphemisms, architecture (THE FINAL FRONTIER) * profiling and identity (The MARK Portraits) * violence in America (TOKENS, PRECIS, HARBINGERS AND HERALDS, AMERICAN PIE, EIKONS)
