About

As an artist I am a painter. I graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1981.

My work is about color, pattern and storytelling with a little humor and irreverence thrown in. It takes a couple of different forms, one being gouache on paper and the other 3D pieces constructed  out of roofing aluminum and plywood painted with either gouache or oils. I work in a cartoony figurative style inspired by such artists as Red Grooms, Roger Brown and the Chicago Hairy Who. Other influences are outsider art, gothic religious art and indian miniature painting. My subject matter runs from observations about American popular culture to portraits of people I know or admire to rooms which depict exaggerated scenes from my own life.

I feel like I am playing as I did in childhood. It's my adult playground and my way of visually writing stories.
