I have recently been
associated with Dan Das Mann Studios in San Francisco and have been
exposed to and inspired by the use of steel as an artistic medium. While in the past I have
had the tendency to blur the distinction between realism and impressionism
I have rarely indulged in what might be termed abstract or free form
art. I now find myself exploring materials and techniques that invite
a whimsical explosion of form, movement and color that seem to develop
on some level outside of myself. This is a new experience for me and
one that I am enjoying very much. Just as this work is
new I am also exploring the Internet as a means of gaining greater
exposure for my work and interacting with a larger artistic environment.
I hope soon to update my gallery on line at least weekly offering
both my own work and that of other artists. The works here are designed
as interior pieces and as such I have chosen lacquer as a finish coating.
I have created exterior works for over twenty-five years and have
available exterior coatings with UV inhibitors but in that some of
the materials and techniques are new to me, particularly metal dyes,
I am uncertain of the long-term effects of direct exposure to sunlight
to some of these works. As always I am also available
for custom commissions and invite all inquires regarding my work.
Also please include a time when it would be most convenient for me
to speak with you personally by telephone.
