I have been exhibiting my work for over forty years, in major US cities and in other countries, and have done commissioned work for individuals and organizations. All of my work is done in wood, carved, layered, and painted. For the past fifteen years my work has addressed politics and popular culture. Recently I have begun to work in a less narrative manner that is more directed by my subconscious than my intellect. Although I have a degree in Fine Art, my inspiration comes from art that is generally referred to as "folk" or "outsider" art as well as from the officially sanctioned work of the Western "masters." It has taken me a long time to free myself from my education and to find my own way. Thanks for joining me at this point in my travels. |
