About The Artist


Painting is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass. My late father was the one responsible for getting me started at the age 5 simply by putting a pencil in my hand.At school the only class I really paid any attention in was art. I simply wasn't interested in anything else and I think my obsession with depicting the monotony of the work place and work force started there. From the beginning the process of transforming my thoughts and visions onto sketch. Painting fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity,and has proven to most amenable vehicle for translating inner vision to outer reality I have never had any formal art training; I spent most of my adult life working as a poker dealer and I've dealt in the wsop it wasn't really a passion but it paid the bills. I paint from the inside out. I consciously employ both traditional and innovative techniques; my unconscious in the undisputed project manager. " my mind ".
