Paintings and the Arts of Maui

To me, the subject of a painting is only incidental to the color, design, and the process of "doing art". My landscape paintings are usually composed in my studio from a combination of drawings and color notations sometimes made at various locations in Arizona and Southern California. Most often though,my paintings reflect the special feeling of the landscape surrounding my home here on Maui. Many paintings are from still life set ups in my studio combined with imaginary landscapes composed from drawings and notes made on location.

I received my formal art training at the John Herron Art Institute and Tulane University where I was also an assistant instructor at Newcomb College for two years. I was one of three artists selected by Loren Dunlap to work on the Owenite restoration project in New Harmony, Indiana and was an instructor for the Blaffer Foundation Art Projects that followed. I am represented in many public, and private collections in the USA, Canada, Japan,England, Germany and the Netherlands. My paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Houston Museum of Art and the Hawaii State Foundation for Culture and the Arts.

Juried Exhibitions include four Indiana Artists Shows with an Eli Lilly Purchase Award. Illinois Artist Annual at the Chicago Art Institute and numerous Art Maui Shows.
