My art is autobiographical, but then most of my life has been autobiographical as well.  My paintings are my diary.  A diary that reflects a curious fascination with figures and scenes; my personal diorama brought to life. With a cast of characters, including myself, that I intertwine into an intricate scene as if from a play, for the benefit and amusement of my audience.  Like all diaries, mine is a collection of personal narratives and figurative entries.

My diary contains a glimpse into the life I have lived and continue living.

​

At 71, while recently working on my paintings, I became aware I am finally unencumbered by any preconceptions of art.

For me art is a spherical concept and never a linear one.

I take what I can grasp, and I ignore the chatter.

I have learned to paint in the present tense.

​

My experiences, my paintings, my diary are all my own.​

I love what I do...I make pictures.
