About the Artist

Having studied art history and being schooled in both painting and graphic design my course as a painter has always mainly been exploratory and inventve. A good number of years were spent at the Art Students League in New York City where my first class was with Reginald Marsh.(1960s). Afterwards my studies continued at Art Students League, Pratt Institute and The School of Visual Arts.

Approximately 30 years were spent as a Graphic Designer, both in Advertising and Corporate environments and my painting continued on a limited time duration where I produced a varied body of works which covered different artistic disciplines. Since 2004 I have been working full-time as a painter producing work in two distinct types of images. For the most part, my direction is Abstract geometrical. (ie:Ad Reinhardt, Josef Albers, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin).

I have been in 2 group shows in New Jersey. One at Thompson Park in Colts Neck (exhibiting paintings and environmental sculpture). The other exhibit of graphic work was at a local private gallery.
