As an architect who designs buildings, I have always considered myself an artist.

The expression of the art form is the primary expressive form in my buildings utilizing geometry, shapes, color, texture, and contradiction. It is these elements which I believe make interesting structures which have expression and meaning.

In my art, I try to express color, form, and textures. My work does not grow from a visible form but develops in how I develop the relationship, color, and texture in a composition that creates visual excitement.

Since I deal with realism every day, abstract expression for me is a way to get out of the box without limitation of budget, function, and rules which are elements in the creation of architecture.

I am new to the world of a painter but I believe there is a feeling I can create in how my clients view my art or my buildings. It is a stimulation which I hope makes one energized and free to think of what they imagine.

I am a graduate of Pratt Institute School of Architecture. I have had classes in art, jewelry, and sculpture at Summit Art Center. I am currently participating in the Lyrical Abstract Expressionism painting class lead by James Kent at the Guild of Creative Art in Shrewsbury, NJ.
