True Art Is The Mind Unleashed

I am an abstract painter. My work may be compared at times to postwar abstract expressionism, including artists associated with the New York School, but my art is independently derived, and is not directly informed by those artists or any genre label of an era, nor is any of it intended to mimic or imitate any artist or their personal art style. Any works that appear to pay any homage may be presumed as intentional afterthought. After a four-year hiatus, I am back with new work in 2026, visible under New Editions.

Sometimes, your greatest inspiration will come through encouragement from people who believe in you; but, you cannot rely on that for your artistic growth, because when their deafening silence comes, and it will, at the end of the day, you must commit your talent and its direction to God and yourself, not to the varied, contrary opinions of others less invested than you. Nonetheless, it’s all still going strong here. Remember to rest, reflect, revise, repeat, and then rest.

‘Sold’ a modified print of Potter’s Field on Day One. Here it is, owner-framed, gifted to an old friend.
