It’s all about time, they say, and what you do with it. Moreover, how you experience it. Which brings up some interesting questions about work. This (right) is my space. That’s me, and this website is intended to provide a representative sample of my work.

I began painting in my mid 30s, inspired by an exhibit of Fauve landscapes at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Though primarily self-taught, I studied in the night classes of Ernest Chrichlow and Hananiah Harrari at the Art Student’s League of New York. And I learned from many very good painters, including Paul Weingarten, a generous mentor.

My paintings have been selected for several juried exhibitions over the years, including one at the Salmagundi Club in New York City. I am a member of Viridian Artists, the oldest co-op gallery in the city. My work is in private collections in the U.S., Canada, England, Germany, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, the British Virgin Islands and Tasmania.

My influences are many. Some off the top, and from a certain period: Cezanne, Ryder, Blakelock, Soutine, Rouault, Modersohn-Becker, Bonnard, and Beckmann.

Pictures on the site are for sale. Please stop by the poetry section as well.

Thank you for your interest.
