It has always been important to me as an artist to be unconstrained in my expression. That is, I've always experimented. I have a firm foundation in the basics of art which I gained through years of study at art college, leading to a degree in painting from The Maryland Institute, College of Art, class of 1976. Continuing to experiment and learn keeps me fresh, and my paintings benefit. I have experience painting tight still-lifes with extensive underpainting, bold landscapes using just a palette knife and no underpainting, portraits, abstracts and non-objective paintings. The main thing is that each of my works have vigor, and that my knowledge is expressed... the knowledge I have gained from years trying many approaches and techniques.
