My birthday is the Fourth of July and my wife's is Valentine's Day. It struck me as odd one afternoon that I had never used the iconic symbols of these two holidays, the firecracker and the heart, in any paintings. Hence, these paintings. They were painted face down on glass, had canvas attached from the back, then peeled up off the glass. This gives them a hyper-smooth surface condition. After the first four, I noticed that they had a vague narrative quality, so I tried to enhance that element in these four.

I was born at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee shortly after midnight on July 4, 1952. I spent a rather idyllic childhood living in the country near Macon, Georgia where I started drawing at the age of about seven, got my first oil painting set at about ten and, sometime in-between, saw an exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci’s engineering exploits. I was sold. I was going to be an artist. During high school, I attended a college preparatory boarding school with an extensive art program and was able to pursue my interest in art, including painting. From there I went to Oklahoma City University where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in art in 1974. I also met my soon-to-be wife of thirty-seven years, Cindy, and two years after graduating, we moved to Portland, Oregon. In 1979, I took a side trip to the University of Idaho where I was granted a teaching assistantship and, in 1981, received a Master of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in painting and printmaking. With the exception of four years, we have lived in Portland ever since where I have been an actively producing painter and teacher. In 1985, I began teaching Painting and Drawing in the Continuing Education program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and, in 1987, Basic Design and Drawing at Mt. Hood Community College. I continue to teach at MHCC. Altogether, I taught twenty years at the PNCA and have taught seventeen at Mt. Hood.
