He studied at The Art Students League, NY and abroad as a Fulbright scholar in Italy. His work has been shown in New York, Boston, Italy, and throughout New England. A solo show of his work will be held in York, Maine this summer at the George Marshall Store Gallery.

 

Statement

My current painting process involves creating small scale oil paintings outdoors from direct observation. In these small works I aim to capture the life and light I see before me, quickly and aggressively. Using a palette knife and large brushes to apply the paint, I strive to build images that embody energy and movement. Formal issues such as composition, shape, color and movement are also driving forces in my work.
