Artist Statement:
I paint because I love to.
You will not find "distilled
images resonating with the
inner angst of the human" on
my site. Shallow? Perhaps.
I firmly believe, however,
there is nothing wrong with
simply being inspired and
painting in spite of what
"they" say. I have found that
such works are very
successful, moreover, they do
ultimately speak to the viewer
who is then free to attach
meaning to my work or simply
own it because they love it.
My latest inspiration was a
trompe l'oeil exhibit. It was
a number of years ago I saw
it, but at that time decided
the genre appealed to me.
Painting is nothing but
illusion, and creating these
illusions are especially ---
FUN!

l'eoil works. Commissions are

Seeing David's "Death of Socrates" at the Metropolitan when I was 12. Decided that I wanted to paint like that! |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I love the challenge of getting what's in my head down on canvas. Horse and animal portraits are another specialty and I love being able to convey their distinct looks to their owners. I enjoy creating illusion which entertains the viewer. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Having drawn and dabbled in art, it is the career I wanted to pusue, but that was not to be. Nearly 20 years passed since I graduated high school at which time I was lucky to come upon Jack Jackson, an instructor at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, FL. Mr. Jackson had classical training in Madam Simi's atelier in Florence. He was a master of flesh painting and still life as well and was generous in his sharing of knowledge. Weekend classes for a couple of years helped me immensely - I wanted to paint! Then, I was on my own and continued to paint in the classical manner Mr. Jackson had taught. I moved on to horse portraits and realistic still life, influenced by classical and old Master styles. My newest foray is trompe l'oeil. I find the challenge of producing convincing 3-d paintings very exciting - and subject matter is never far away! One of my trompe paintings was "Best Painting" at a local 4 county juried show. I continue to practice and paint and work on creating interesting, fun and inspired paintings. |
