Artist's Statement

Art has always been an integral part of my life. I have endeavored to experiment in various mediums, until I settled on oils, which I have used extensively since 1965.

For three years into oil painting, I worked with one color only (burnt umber) as a self-teaching method in the study of value. Within the first ten years of painting, I worked from life and, in doing so, I often found that nature and live models weren't always

My style is that of super realism. My life's work is representative of the people I've met, places I've been, and things I've seen in my travels.

I strive to create as natural and true to life depiction of all my subjects. My city and landscapes are never contrived, rearranged, nor do I eliminate elements for any reason.
My paintings are intended as being historical and therefore must be true and precise in every detail within the timeframe in which they were created.
