My 30+ years as an indie brand image designer and art director have served to cultivate my visual sensibilities as a visual communicator. That cumulative experience now informs my creating in the fine arts space. After all, it’s still about color, space, subject/object, nuance composition, exploration and best of all, wonder, discovery and serendipity.

Much of my work typically begins on a small scale. In some cases I use acrylic or gouache media on 4x5 inch color paper. If something reveals itself as special and an undeniable stand out worthy of further exploration it is scanned at a very high resolution. Once in digital form I explore and develop the art further through an extensive iterative process.

Photographic work is also manipulated in a digitally iterative exploration. I typically never use native, as shot images. I enjoy the extended process of enhanced manipulated imagery. Photo and text based emphemera is also a starting point for an extensive and in some case an exhaustive iterative process.

Assemblage and collage works are made using scraps of printed waste paper – the visual refuse of the design projects I’ve done over the years, then recontextualized for the art I make now.
