My News
Most recently, I collaborated on two of my abstract paintings with Ross Bleckner, and have been spending a great deal of time extracting details from the abstract paintings to make new ones.
While continuing to paint on the abstracts, I’m re-photographing details of them, until all that is left, (after the original paintings is destroyed) is a history of the details that emerged along the way.
I continue to study with Frank Ryan, a graduate of UCLA’s graduate art program, and an artist in his own right.
I seem to exist between two worlds somewhere i can’t quite give up portrait painting, although I am moving more and more into a freer form of abstraction.
I’m starting to experiment with larger canvases, and the results remain to be seen.
I have found great sources of encouragement from Eric Fischl, Ross Bleckner and David Salle, maybe their common bond is that they all went to school in Southern California.
