Artist statement
I use my imagination, but also try to paint photorealistically.
Every painting I do has a story behind it. A while back, I was into painting lighthouses with ghosts. I was into nostalgia...when I visited a lighthouse, I imagined who lived there many years ago. Right now I am really into sports portraits. Most of the time I think of a sports icon and then dream up a painting concept about the icon. Right now, the guy that everyone is thinking about is Brett Favre. It is probably his last year. Also, painting the human face is very, very challenging. So right now it is Brett...but next it might be Elvis, or a politician (well, maybe not) or maybe I'll paint a farm scene. The options are endless.
Biography
I was born in Canada in 1950 and still have close ties to that country even though I became a U.S. citizen at 18. I worked for many years as a Marinette County Parks Director and am now retired. I now live in Oconto, where I have a studio/gallery. I display my work at 30 shows each year.
