I was born in 1961 in Maryland at Patuxent River Naval Air Station. My dad was in the navy and we moved around the country a lot. I get my artistic interests and talents from my mother.

| 关于此艺术家 |
I am a painter with a studio in Peekskill, NY, one hour north of Manhattan. I've created many abstract paintings, but I have also been working on representative works focusing on sections of known paintings as new compositions. |

Young Woman with a Water Pitcher
2008 Oil on Canvas Panel 46h x 36w |
|
After Vermeer's painting from 1665. I enjoy the details of paintings that appear in art books. The detail takes on a new and interesting composition as in this example of my rendition of a section of Young Woman with a Water Pitcher. |
Self Portrait: Between the Floor and the Ceiling, Living Room One (detail)
2008 Acrylic on Masonite 122h x 122w |
|
This is a rendering of a floor section in a house where my wife and I used to live. It was a large Victorian house with rooms in interesting configuration and sizes. I created color pencil studies for each room with views on both the ceiling and the floors. Above is a section rendered in actual size of a section of the living room floor.
The concept was inspired by Edvard Munch's "Self Portrait: Between the Clock and the Bed". Where Munch represented himself horizontally between two objects, I represented my self vertically between floor and ceiling. One's personal environment sometimes reveals their life story. |

Artistic License
2002 Graphite, Color Pencil, Pen on Paper 5h x 9w |

Created for the Drawing Center's 25th Anniversary exhibition. Having participated in one of their Selections shows, it was my honor, along with 750 other artists, to be invited to submit a drawing to this special exhibition. |
Apples
1990 Pastel on Paper 61h x 122w |
|
This beautiful piece has a realistic basket of apples in the center with flowing drapery in front of a wall and wood room trimmings. The piece is executed at an interesting angle adding excitement to the piece. This beautiful piece, ready for hanging, is framed and covered in glass. |
Art News/Art In America (cover)
1988 Woven Magazines 28h x 22w x 2d |
|
This is a cover-to-cover weaving of copies of Art News and Art In America. An art collector once said that one could only understand about 20% of art criticism. In this piece words become worthless, but it is a much better read.
This piece was included in The Drawing Center (Wooster St, NYC) exhibit - Selections 43.

Van Gogh's Ear
1990 Woven Newsprint and Food Wrappers 15h x 20w |
|
This piece illustrates how media hype can outlive the artist. Here Jean-Michel Basquiat's obituary is woven together with wrappers from mixed fruit and nuts. A story concerning dried fruit and nuts and Basquiat's actions toward an art dealer was mentioned in his obituary. The title - Van Gogh's Ear - speaks for itself. |
Mona Washington
1990 Woven Postcards 15h x 10w |
|
| |
The Commerce of Art
1991 Acrylic on Clear Mylar, Woven 122h x 92w |
|
This unique piece is two paintings executed in acrylic on clear mylar. The two paintings were executed on the backside of the mylar so that, when viewing from the front, the piece has a gloss surface. The two paintings were then cut into strips, then woven together to make one painting. The concept of this piece is art as commodity. |
Raushenberg/Clemente
1991 Acrylic on Clear Mylar, Woven 92h x 122w |
