I have been a Artist for my whole life. My Collected works of over 40 years is approaching the fulfillment of my artistic vision. The primary purpose of my art is to satisfy my creative vision. I see things in my mind which I strive to portray as images. I have spent my life trying to find the tools that I need to unlock what I think about. My web pages are divided into different periods -roughly based on time. From 1969 to to 1974 I lived in Philadelphia where I made psychedelic paintings. From 1974 through 1976 I lived in State College Pennsylvania. where I started painting in a figurative expressionistic style and made many drawings and satirical cartoons. From 1976 through 1980 I lived in Morristown New Jersey and continued making figurative expressionistic - complex paintings based on earlier drawings. I put a darkroom in my home and started taking photographs and making my own black and white prints. From 1980 on, Ive lived in Northwest New Jersey. Some of the art from then on has "photographic reference" and is an imaginary or dreamlike enhancement of my photos and a re-examination of my earlier painted images. These are my DreamScapes. I have made music throughout my life as well. 2010 and 11 have been the most musical years of my life. I am writing a satirical conspiracy story "Tales of the Golden Eye". I am compliling a folio of all of the lyrics of my hundreds of songs as well. I look to publish them in the winter of 2011-12
Starting In 2010 I started a multi-media series based on work I did in 1971. The "40 Years Later Project" consisted of 60 multi-media compositions all 9"x12" all done outside all done between March 18th and September 18th 2010. In 2011 I continue to paint prolifically working in the new abstract surrealistic style I developed in 2010. I expect to make over 100 new paintings on canvias, as books and on small panels and canvases by the end fall
