This painting will be in the Academic Artists Association 75th Annual National Exhibition of Traditional Realism at Arts Center East, in Vernon, CT. The show opens Sunday, October 12. I invite you to join me at the reception from 4 - 6 pm.

I create deeply personal work that speaks about the soul of America.

I have spent a great deal of time on the road. The art I make is distilled from that experience. Although there is an aspect of cultural anthropology in my work, I have to feel a profound connection with my subject.

This emotional response is what I’m most interested in. My aim is to evoke a certain mood through the limitations of visual art.
