Originally from Boston, I am primarily a self-taught artist but also studied at The Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston. I began showing my work in Provincetown in 1997. My experience over the past thirty years has varied from more traditional mediums including wood sculpture, oil painting, and drawing, to highly detailed antique and mechanical restorations. During this same period I have collected objects including salvaged hardwoods, metals, glass, and antique hardware. About twelve years ago I began to incorporate the skills and techniques that I have learned with my collection of objects. Through physical manipulation of these materials, along with the incorporation of key elements such as old photos and nostalgic icons, I try to create works conveying an intimate narrative. There have been a number of artists and art movements that have influenced my philosophy and artwork over the years. Among them are artists of the Dada and Surrealist movements. Their unconventional mediums of expression have inspired my attempts to use items discarded by society as raw materials in expressing an often-subjective message. |
