Plein Air Painting
Most of my free time is spent outdoors, taking along a small canvas and oils, watercolor or acrylic.
Many of these landscape paintings have been shown in group and solo exhibitions.
Large Landscape Painting & Drawings
After graduating from Pratt Institute in the early 80's, I took a three month hitch hiking adventure throughout Europe. When returning back to New York City, I began to incorporate fence posts, trees and branches into my landscape painting. It was my way of blocking the viewer from entering an isolated environment such as I'd experienced while standing alone sometimes for hours on empty roadways and foreign highways.
At this time, I was also studying the modern jazz dance technique of Lynn Simonson. This technique used a lot of quick swirling movements coming to a stomach contraction with the thrusting of arms forward. I tried to express these
movements as a choreographed dance of tree limbs and fence posts in many of my earlier works on canvas.
These paintings have been exhibited at:

Warhorse/Warrior Series III
I began to paint the Warhorse/Warrior III Series during the Kosovo War in 1999. The warhorse came to personify mankind as he began to transform from a warrior of the dark ages and into the light of a new beginning and new millennium.

Winter Salon Show - Greenpoint Gallery, Brooklyn, NY
