Who am I and where did I come from?  Well…

I was born in Seattle and had a nice childhood during which I fell in love with art. I then grew up, made good choices as well as bad ones, felt joy as well as pain, and continued my love affair with art. At long last, I met Catherine, fell in love with her and made her my wife, and the three of us currently share a wonderful life together.

As for my art…

Fueled by intense introspection and a working-class ethic, I am intent on self-expression and self-discovery through the cultivation of my own, singular sense of style and technique.

I work to convey not only a meditative quality and a reflection of spiritual energies in my art, but I also seek to maintain a balanced sense of levity and humor. 

Aesthetically, I'm impassioned by the bold simplicity of fundamental shapes, sharp lines, solid colors, purity and precision, and I strive to create work that reflects that.

My crisp, clean work is intended as a visual, contemplative antidote to our society’s sometimes excessive, over-stimulated and chaotic tendencies.
