My grandpa took me on my first visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum when I
was about 6. Since then, I never miss an opportunity to visit a museum
wherever I travel. My education always involved art classes. In high
school, I bought my first 35mm camera and built a darkroom in my parent's
basement. There was no turning back.
Two things influence my abstract painting style.
One, I can’t draw realistically. Maybe I’m impatient? Two, the energy and
passion in the painting process is as rewarding as the finished piece.
I like to start with a sketch and explore shapes. But then again, I may have
a picture in my head of tones and colors. The most difficult part of the
creative process is the first stroke, or splat as is often the case. I can feel
when a painting is complete and intuitively put down the brush.
I studied graphic design in college and now own an advertising agency and
live in the role of Creative Director.
The pull to stay involved in the art world has me taking figure drawing and
painting classes on a regular basis.
Undoubtedly, my training in graphic design influences the shapes, colors
and placement on my canvases. The curiosity I inherited from gramps
keeps me exploring new paths. I paint whenever possible and always have
a camera and a sketch book close at hand.
