I am a painter and I'm not a fan of writing about myself but I have been told by people that this is an important part of my website so here goes...I am an abstract painter. Abstract expressionism to be exact. It's a technical term given to the art movement that emerged in New York around the 1940's-1950's and moved the focus of modern art to America. It is energetic, bold, dynamic and based on abstract imagery. It was my favorite type of art long before I even knew what it was, much less knew how to paint it. While most kids idolized actors or collected stickers, I cut out photos of paintings that I liked and taped them to looseleaf paper, which I collected a binder. I would study them, closely observing the interplay of colors, textures, gestures and lines and thought they were the coolest things on earth. I picked up a paintbrush and told myself I was going to paint like that. Little did I know how hard it was to make all of that "work" and I spent years after reading, learning, and observing.

Now all this time later, I'm still learning and observing but I can say that I'm happy with the way my painting has evolved. I have sold numerous paintings throughout the United States and have paintings in private and corporate collections (and maybe even some kids favorite art binder). I have shown at White Linen Night in New Orleans, Dirty Linen Night, Art For Arts Sake and was a regional semi-finalist for the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series. 

I live in New Orleans, LA with my beautiful wife Donna and our three dogs, Mo, Eli and Oscar...and lots and lots of art.
