Biography
|
|
I received my B.F.A. degree in painting in 1970 from the Minneapolis College Of Art and Design. During my time there I was privileged to study with such notables as Roberto Matta , Christo, Kurt Sonderborg , Wayne Thibaud and George Segal. I have been painting since age fourteen with many paintings in collections across the country and in foreign nations as well; additionally, I have worked in a variety of other mediums . A quantity of my work, including sculpture, has been exhibited and sold in galleries from New York to New Mexico for a number of years.

Statement
|
|
My focus is inclined more toward painting the "state of being" than it is toward representing the being in a concrete sense. I explore juxtaposition of color, form, contrast, motion, life and lifelessness in a representational style seeking to express what are sometimes ethereal and abstract concepts. In addition my works are filled with a personal symbolism forged from what I perceive as universal but contemporary ideology with powerful and multifaceted implications. Reality is frequently not that which is reflecting light to our retina, but that which lies beneath that veneer; it is that substance which I seek to express in my art.
