Born in and currently residing in America, I spent my childhood in Edinburugh,Scotland. My last visit to England was two weeks before the Sunami. When I left, I spent the minutes in silence at Heathrow, along with the rest of the shocked planet. Hopefully, when I return, it will be on a more joyful note..... I look forward to it.

| 关于此艺术家 |
I am an artist committed to creating and communicating art in exciting different ways using traditional techniques. I take the high road in my approach to the world's problems and my communication is on the side of the light always. I agree with George Harrison when he sang... " now the Lord helps those that help themselves and the Law says whatever you do is gonna come right back on you." "The Lord Loves The One" |

dragonslayer Riding The Giant (Laird Hamilton)
2006 oil on canvas 152.4cmx121.92cm |
|
The danger and art of giant wave surfing fascinate me, as in Laird Hamilton riding the over 20ft. waves, He and his crew basically invented towing surfing of the big waves. When looking at the painting I like to think you can imagine the sound of waves crashing and the thrill of the ride. The textured panels are reminiscent of Pucci with the look and feel of sun paled jammies. I offer this painting as limited signed edition on this website |

My Father At Work In His Paisley Tie
2005 oil on canvas with oil on canvas panel 86.36cmx71.12cm |
|
My Father had a great work ethic. He hand-tooled and hand made beautiful leather products in his factory in Dunkeld, Scotland. I choose to paint him working on a piece of leather in his factory as my tribute to him. The body of the painting has a water color feel, although done in oils, with a shadowy background prophetically suggesting the skyscrapers of New York, where he traveled to and I was born. My Dad loved Scotland and he also loved America, and was so proud to become an American citizen. He was bi-lingual, Polish being his native tongue. The panel's tartan is the Scottish Blackwatch, the tartan of the guards as they watch over the sleeping city. I offer this artwork as a limited signed closd edition of 500 |

I have had many one person gallery shows, numerous group shows and my paintings are in private homes and collections ..... as Fellini said in the movie, 8 1/2 : ( I could not say it any better ) "We are already suffocated by words, by sounds and Images that have no reason to exist...that emerge from the void and return to the void. Any man or woman WORTHY to be called an artist should swear one oath....dedication to SILENCE!" |
