Originally an exhibiting artist in NYC I met many of America's top artists at the time including Alex Katz, Wolf Kahn, and Julian Schnabel.
It was during that time I realized how much work is involved in creating an artwork. Beyond a sprinkle of 'magic' here and there it comes down to the discipline of creating something beautiful which takes time and effort.
In regards to my artistic sensibility: I strive to combine the elegance of George Stubbs or John Singer Sargeant with the modernism of Matisse’s cutouts and the vibrancy of Cartier’s spectacular patterning.
Love what I do, hope it shows.
