I am a contemporary American realist whose paintings and monotypes explore the relationship between people and their urban environment. I feel that I am working in the tradition of earlier realists such as John Sloan and Edward Hopper, depicting today’s modern life in the streets, reflecting themes of solitude. I am not interested in producing a literal translation of my subject matter, instead I ride the line between abstraction and realism.
I did not pursue an academic art education, but studied independently with printmaker Seong Moy, and painters Philip Malicoat, Victor Candell, and Leo Manso in Provincetown in the early 70’s. My process involves bold applications of energetic marks and strokes to produce an abstract interplay of shapes that fall into place when viewed from a distance.
