Biography
I am committed to figurative work with ideas, and I always try for a memorable image. I was trained as a figure painter at Cooper Union. An interest in landscape came much later as I tried to make it as intense as any figure painting. Often I combine figures and animals in landscapes. Most frequently, I work in series: The Four Seasons, the War in Iraq, The Fountain of Youth, and The Magic Flute, paintings inspired by Mozart’s opera.
