I envision my oil paintings and other mediums as I have embraced my writings as a world class journalist with Time, Inc. magazines. Each piece is an adventure of striking, dramatic impression, from sculptures and still lifes to the human figure and landscapes of my global sojourns to Italy and the Southwest.
I fashion understandable images that combine realistic, representational, and abstracted approaches of the ancients, animals, and nature. I employ vivid rich colors and vibrating color contrasts, chiaroscuro style, mirrored effects, humorous human and animal narratives, comical concepts, palette knife marks, energetic brush strokes, textured effects, and compelling compositions.
