Currently, my recent work is displayed close to home for all my Kentucky friends and fans.  During the season of Lent (February 25, 2009 through April 6, 2009) the series Action Unification and the mini series, Morning Promise, will be on display at the Asbury Theological Seminary in the gallery and in the foyer of McKenna Chapel.  This includes 18 paintings (14 bone joint paintings and 4 Egg shell paintings).  The gallery is open 8:00 a.m.-11:00pm M-Th, 8:00 a.m.-8:00 pm Fri, 9:00-6pm on Sat.  Please refer to the artwork as an aid in reflection on the season.

I was  in Kentucky the evening of Wednesday March 4 through the evening of Thursday  March 5 , 2009.  On Thursday, from noon to one, I gave a talk about my art and answered questions.   Here are some images from the galleries and the art talk.

I have always been drawn to natural, organic objects and choose to portray them with oil on textured surfaces. Often, I present my subject in "dynamic still life" with a shift of time through movement or growth-decay. I am originally from the rust-belt city of Rockford, Illinois. I left the manufacturing town to study fine art at Asbury College and find inspiration among the rolling hills and forests of rural Kentucky. Although consistently representational, I strive to create subtlety layered visual and philosophical metaphors. In 2005, I returned to the country's heartland where I am active in the local art community of Indianapolis, Indiana. Next to oil painting, my greatest passion is helping others appreciate art by teaching private classes.
