About

My desire to express myself through drawing and painting started at a very early age when I would spend a good amount of time depicting the places and objects that excited me during trips with my parents.

My father, taught me the basic fundamentals of draftsmanship. Growing up in Detroit I developed a deep interest in automobiles which led me to pursue a program of studies in industrial design and fine arts at Wayne State University in Detroit. I worked at General Motors, Ford Motor Styling and other major industrial design firms.

After moving to the Boston area I developed an architectural illustration and small interior design business and created architectural illustrations for a wide variety of projects worldwide as well as schematic architectural design and interior design for a variety of projects. Currently, after a rewarding career in illustration and design, nearly all of the creative endeavors are spent creating watercolors of a variety of subjects.

Artist Statement

Environments have always had a significant affect and impact on my sensibilities, inspiring me to convey my impressions through painting and drawing instead of words. Line, color, light, the flow of relationship have continued to be an unavoidable internal dialog and part of life. Painting for me is a way of understanding a landscape or object and the subtle nuances of color and light that I see in these subjects. Painting is a form of language by which I can record and enjoy an experience, a place or a fascinating object.

The preliminary sketches and photographs become a thought sorting process. The graphic choices of a work in process become a challenge of communication, of impact, of a special connection to the subject matter. A painting to me represents a walk through time and space.

Over time I’ve used several different mediums and have become attached to the way the watercolor medium works out my thoughts and experiences in either a spontaneous or more studied approach.
