I am a self taught artist who started painting in 1991, when my wife gave me a tin of paints and the book “How to Paint Watercolors.” I worked only in watercolors until 1998 when I started with oils, and in 2000 with acrylics. Bright color and line predominate in my painting; my work reflects on personal experience, social issues, stereotypes and bias, faith and religion, family and aging. I am a lawyer as well as an artist and some of my paintings reflect on social justice issues and the court process, and include several large scale “jury” paintings, judge portraits, and a series reflecting on capital punishment. I work in a variety of styles including figurative, abstract, landscape, and portrait. Many works on canvas are large, up to 4 feet x 8 feet, with some on two panels.
