I am very happy to be here at Prospect Gallery. I live and work in the Lake Forest neighborhood of Eureka Springs West, out by Beaver Lake. I was born in the Middle East, moved around a lot growing up and as an adult. Eureka Springs has been my home since 2005.
I connect with acrylics because I like the modern feel of this plastic medium. My art training is from Parsons The New School for Design in NYC in 1984. It is the oldest design college in the world.
Composition is the main element in my paintings. My painting solutions are original, based on a sound training in design at Parson's.
I hope to express a post modern interpretation of the disconnect of modern life in my art. Paintings can bring that disconnect into the vocabulary of our minds, and this can bring us into the now. This is the value I hope to achieve in the paintings.
As with all of the painters at Prospect Gallery, these paintings are in the original only; no prints are made of the paintings offered here.
