Visual art is simple; it expresses an artist's essence through a visual image. That is what I do. But the essence of my work is not so simple - it is made up of being authentic, being grounded in universals, always pursuing innovative visual language, and reaching for the high note. These attributes together make my art unique, and make my major works audacious, and set my standard for visual excellence.
I also reject being a traditional painter, and I reject postmodern mediums, like trash, Vaseline, shit, or empty space. Both share the same problem: neither pursue innovative visual knowledge. And both have serious issues with authenticity: one is restricted by convention; the other by a desperation to be new.
My major works are created without time constraints; I drive them towards their resolution, and when they feel right, they are done.
You can contact me for a private viewing in Santa Monica of the available major works, they are priced upwards from $60,000.
A select few of images are available as canvas Giclee prints. Here are the pricing, shipping details, and option for immediate purchase.
