POEM to accomapny this painting:
Speck of dust
Whirring, whirling
Quantum machine.
The sky is not sublime.
That would require it to be awake, to care.
It is unconscious and indifferent.
I am: Speck of Dust,
with eyes to see the Sky.

NUMEROUS PRIVATE COLLECTIONS
1957 - Born in New Haven Connecticut, my parents were both educated and encouraged me in my artistic growth and
development. My mother an inner city public school teacher in the South Bronx,is now an artist also. My father was a doctor who also gave medical care to many inner city citizens at a time when quality health care may not have been available to them elsewhere.
1960 and continuing - Attended private art schools and dance schools as a child and was also exposed to art museums and cultural events constantly in my early youth. Even then, an excellent student, encouraged to be literate and artistic. It was expected that I would be an artist from the beginning.
1972 - Using my artistic talents and intellectual abilities, I skip high school grades eleven and twelve and go to college early.
1972 - At 15 years old attend Bard College at Simon's Rock. Where I have a very successful one man exhibition of paintings, drawings and prints. I also learn to meditate at this time. Then based on this body of work, at 16 years old, I'm accepted as a sophomore to attend New York Universities' Fine Arts School.
1973 - I receive a full scholarship to School of American Ballet at Lincoln Center and a grant/stipend from the Ford Foundation. perform at the Sharp Theater Lincoln Center as a student receiving mention in a New York Times review by Clive Barnes. I also perform professionally with various companies. My artistic student and professional experiences performing at New York State Theater-Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and more - bring me together with luminous artists.I'm exposed to more great art.
1977 and continuing - I decide at 20 years old to attend art college again. Choosing these schools in New York City: New York University, School of Visual Arts and Fashion Institute of Technology (A.A. Degree). Much of my time in college I need to work part-time jobs to
earn enough money to live - and study art. I earn a degree and graduate summa cum laude also receiving a SUNY Educational Foundation Award and a SUNY Educational Grant. While still in school I receive a professional Design Award: a DESI Award for poster design from Graphic Design USA magazine. My specific areas of study include painting, drawing, design, photography, typographic design, conceptual
design, film making, art history.
1984 - I'm employed as an art director and win over 35 awards for art direction and
graphic design. As an art director I work for major advertising agencies as well as small creative design firms. I design logos, posters, as well as national and international print and television campaigns.
1991 - I begin again to focus on my fine art work where I'm able to be more true to my interests and ideals. Eventually leaving commercial art behind except as an occasional means of income to help subsidize my true calling - painting. At this point I also begin again to work at a variety of low stress, low paying, part-time jobs to earn a small income
to survive as an artist.
1992 - I'm the director, cinematographer and choreographer of six short art films and begin working with a film production company, Big City Pictures. This type of work proves to be too commercial and not suited to my specific creative goals.
1993 - I begin to focus exclusively on my painting and drawing while continuing to work part-time at various non-arts-related jobs. These jobs are unpleasant at times but allow me a meager income to live and also allow me the energy, time and the freedom to do my art work.
1994 - I start having success selling paintings.
1996 - I begin exhibiting my art in alternative gallery spaces and on Web sites.
2006 and continuing - Recently numerous gallery and arts professionals have visited my art studio to view and review my art work and have been very encouraging. In addition to their very positive reception of my work, their reviews and critiques, some of these have also started collecting my paintings. To me this is the greatest testimony I could receive from my comrades in art.
2008 - I have more success selling my art and also have a one-person exhibition in a very large, clean, well-lit alternative gallery space.
ADDITIONAL BIO THOUGHTS
I have a hunger for knowledge and read a great deal: philosophy, writings by artists, poetry, art criticism, art history, among other things. My work is received with respect and admiration by many, as well as being recognized as thoughtful and exciting intellectually. My dedication to abstract art seems to make the challenges of being an artist even more rigorous. Being an abstract artist can widen my audience because of the universality and generality of the subject matter. Yet I'm keenly aware that abstract art can also seem less accessible than art, for example, that mirrors the pop culture of television, Hollywood and magazines, or art that narrates and comments on the specifics of current and past political struggles. These others genres are important and valid and will always be. Abstract art, universal and general in subject matter is to many still the heart and soul of art. I choose transcendence in my art.
Although, my own work has recently been gaining popularity, I don't believe the merit of my art is measured by an empirical statistic of how many people have access to, or respond to my art.
I was born an American and Jewish (Reform). My grandmother was Catholic. I read Buddhist literature and I practice meditation. The descendant of a diverse family background, I consider myself to be a globally ethnic human being and tend to identify with arts, sciences, literary pursuits and humanism more than a geographically specific ethnicity or homogeneous culture. I feel at this juncture in human history it's worthwhile to cross boundaries and barriers, rather than enforce them. |
