The artists images have historical
background in the landscapes of Cezanne; expressionist woodcuts; works
of Lyonel Feininger; and the cubistic undertakings of Braque, Picasso,
and Juan Gris. Futurist paintings by Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carra,
and Gino Severini provide additional sources for investigations into
simultaneity of time, motion, and altering vantage points.
The artist has also been influenced by the rural
settings of his youth, where agricultural activities create a patterned
layout of the terrain. Varied crop rotation, planting and cultivation
provide a patchwork of numerous bright greens against earth tones
while short vegetation is set against clusters of trees. These features
are presented in a quasiaerial perspective within each work.
Works by the artist/printmaker encompass the full range of printmaking
techniques: intaglio etching, woodcut, lithography, engraving, drypoint,
monoprints, and serigraphy. More recent works also include landscape
constructions and collage with the inclusion of wood, sticks, wire
and shaped paper as well as mixed media: acrylics, washes, pencils
and pastels.
Most prints are produced in limited fine art print editions which
rarely exceed 25 prints. Other works are one-of-a-kind. Contact
the artist directly for further information. This site features
an expanded explanation of the overall style, detailed description
for each displayed print, expanded vitae, documentation,
and the extensive exhibition
records. Most works are for sale. Price list available upon
