My art background:

I am entirely self-taught and was born needing to CREATE. Walls and crayons were my first exploration. Toothpicks, cardboard and elmer's glue were my next discoveries.

I favor realism--ultra-realism--and that surfaces in all of my work be that painting horse protraits or creating miniature worlds.

My experience:
**The Beginning: Dioramas--1972
**Illustration--books/greeting cards--sporadically from 1979 through 1986
** Horse portraits--Princeton/PA/Central Jersey--early 1990's.
**Painted furniture/objects--1990's through present.
**Murals/Tromp l'oeil--1990 through 1996
**Dioramas, railroad structures, layouts--Part-time 2002 through mid-2004--full time from mid 2004 to present. I worked mainly as a writer under contract from 2000 through mid-2004.

My mission statement:
I don't have a driving underlying message with my art and never have--perhaps that has made me less a "real" artist/perhaps not.
I strive to capture "enchantment" and "magic." To create things that allow ME to get away from it all...to forget everything for a moment...to dream...to recreate a world that exists, for the most part, only in our memories.
