Bio:

Biographical details can be found in the reviews which are included here, especially the long one written by Mr. Kevin Costello (a museum curator in Adelaide, Australia) which is titled, "The Littoralist Paintings etc." Also included is a statement by Thom Elkjer. However colorful or entertaining such information may be for others - certainly not for me!

I must insist that in my own estimation such data is entirely irrelevant. THE WORK SHOULD SPEAK FOR ITSELF. Our experience of a work of art should never be tainted by any reaction to the circumstances, conduct, or personality of the artist, however sordid or saintly they may have been.

Artist Statement:

I am not a realist. Nor am I an impressionist, a pointillist, a surrealist, a minimalist, or an abstract expressionist. Yet I assert that my work, at its best, functions within all of these disparate categories.

These are not paintings of objects. They are not souvenirs of places, and they do not tell stories. They do present a recognizible image, combined with an illusion of great depth. The image consists of the sea and sky. This is not the real, physical sea, but a metaphor, and as such I propose that it is the most universal of all.
