About the Artist

Artist Statement

“With the use of a limited set of parameters on a two-dimensional surface
I continue to look for solutions to spatial relationships using the
simple tools of shape, line and color.
My intention is to arrive at a result that conveys the endless variations
that can be achieved via an abstract approach to composition.”

Artist Biography

My father was a talented commercial and fine artist and had a tremendous influence on me.
One word he used that fascinated me as a kid was the word abstract. I think if I had to pinpoint a single influence on my work and the pursuit of art as a lifetime career it would be that word.
In my early teenage years I began to show potential as an artist. That being one of my strengths as a young student I decided at an early age that art would be my vocation.  I went on to attend The Cooper School of Art in Cleveland Ohio. There I had studio courses in both commercial and fine art. While attending Cooper I was an apprentice at a commercial artstudio and after graduating with
a major in Communication Design I went to work in the
commercial field. At the same time I continued to work on my own studio / fine art mostly painting and drawing. Primarily working in series within a few limiting parameters. What interests me is the freedom I find in systems. An abstract approach to composition has been of interest to me for as long as
I can remember.
