Artist Statement
I paused in my career, having been a color field abstractionist. I have begun again as a Geometric Abstractionist. This change occured because I was looking for a style that was less derivative in nature.
I'm in the process of painting a collection entitled, "CONNECTIONS". A couple of those works are shown here.
My favorite artists are: Rothko, Mitchell, van Gogh, Schiele, Turner and Guston (his abstractions), and usually questions of stroke or palette. I also adore the work of Alice Neel. Ellsworth Kelly once visited a show of mine. I began doing some "hard edge", sort of in tribute to him, but the work also harkens to early Al Held.
