For me, political art is born of the moment.  Something catches my attention on multiple levels and I respond in the moment - simple and fast; never over worked or worked beyond the moment.  Often I am surprised by the outcome and left literally shaking for I have encountered truth.  Cynical you ask or screaming for understanding in hopes that change can be effected.

Thank you, America!
For my son...
Proud to be an American -
With love to Monet!

How many love affairs does a lifetime hold?  Do you search them out or do they land in your lap giving you the opportunity to enjoy?


I’ve always believed that I was French and Napoleon and I were innocent friends in our youth.  I stayed on long after he was gone and encounter the Impressionists - Manet, Monet, Pissaro, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas, Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt.


From the small town of Barbizon, I wandered North to South and East to West seeking out the beauty of the light, their old familiar haunts, and cafes where they rested at the end of the day in the camaraderie of friends and a glass of wine or pastis.


To this day, Friday nights are dedicated to remembering these bright shining stars in the company of artist friends!

No artist ever forget’s their first “one man” show; the energy, the isolation that it demanded, the doubt that haunted what you were thinking until your mind ceased to chatter and your hands took over in a feverish quest to get it down, get it right, get it done!


And then you wait for the critics ...
