Resume

Straight lines are the product of my thirty year search to simplify art as the abstract expressionist lives it. Straight lines are the sheerest statements to be made for art, the clearest, as my work describes ever finer edges. I aim for ironical understatement in the contrast between bleak unmarried lines and the lush fecundity of fresh color. Shiny finishes are not decorative; rather, they commemorate the beauties of art that has lived before.
