Being a drummer and a painter, my rhythmic musical preferences influence the outcome of my paintings in a left / right brain, connective-tissue miracle.

Application of acrylic gel, clear tar gel and string gel are my ‘underpainting’; placement is intentional, designed and carefully contemplated.

Abstract art is an expression of non-realism to me, yet very real in the sense of the process, application and freedom in involvement of creating.

Looking at my paintings, color is equally paramount, however, I have no idea how the color will look until I’m finished... that’s a challenge in itself, when is it done?

My hope is that you will closely explore each painting to experience pleasure from the work in your own way, as I have freely created it.
