Biography
Being a self-taught artist, I have derived much of my inspiration from the “GROUP OF SEVEN”, the French Impressionists and the Writings of Baha’u’lla’h (Baha’i Faith). For 30 of my 35 yrs painting, I’ve focused on representational landscapes, still life and figure painting many of which, were palette knife paintings.
During the last 5 years or so my style changed and I started painting fun, whimsical paintings solely from my imagination. I now consider myself an “outsider” artist and my work continues to be raw, authentic, naive and fun.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
I had an epiphany a few years back and realized that for me painting is just fun! Not serious or academic, just fun, and at the same time I realized that if I’m not having fun, the painting is probably not working. I totally love doing work from my imagination, and it is always a surprise to me when something whimsical or outrageous shows up. I try not to pre-meditate anything, but simply approach the blank canvas and start throwing paint around. Amazingly, some things quick emerge on the canvas and I try to obey and follow the promptings within. I find myself a servant of this process, not an author of anything great. The paintings happen of themselves and I am there! That is all!
