ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The current work pairs movies stars and comic strips to generate conversations about American values and identity. The action of the comic gives a piece of a narrative: violence, betrayal, restraint or perhaps joy. The personas of the movies stars act as blank canvases for us to project our personal experience and biases. There is a connection between the existentially different entities in these paintings- an invisible thread. They exist within the same picture frame and are seemingly aware of each other’s existence yet there is an element of obliviousness. Something is happening and they can’t seem to take it in. There is a detachment from the intensity of the experience.

I was born in Appleton, Wisconsin and raised in Orlando, Florida. I moved to New York City in 1985 where I started my career, got my MFA and raised a family. I have lived in Connecticut since 2005. I define myself as a figurative painter and I also make life size kinetic figurative sculptures. The inspiration for my work dates back to a show I attended at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Manet and Velazquez, The French Taste For Spanish Painting. Velazquez's portrait of the king's jester Pablo de Valladolid was described by the French modernist Edouard Manet as the most astonishing piece of painting ever created. He praised the representation of air surrounding the figure and the way the background disappeared. I have recently shown at the Madison Park Gallery in New York City. As part of Art Elevated, a larger than life reproduction of Sophia and the Little Man will hang on a NYC DOT street lamp in the Garment District in Manhattan from early September through October 30, 2018. Several works in my current body of work will be at The Shelfaudt Gallery at the University of Bridgeport Nov. 16, 2018 - Jan. 26, 2019. The gallery has featured important American artists like Robert Motherwell, Red Grooms, Louise Nevelson and Alice Neal. My work is in significant personal art collections including the collection of a two time academy award nominated director.
