ABOUT

Throughout my career as a visual artist, I have not much concerned myself with the business of developing a style per se (the late Josef Albers once uttered "Take it easy; what happens usually happens without you anyway"). I wanted to bring a sense of informed draughtsmanship--regardless of media--to the elements and assembly of each effort.

In my other role as art/cultural historian (both of my careers mutually influence and reinforce the other), I ventured into and was wholly fascinated by the subject of cultural identity, particularly the roles cinema and visual art have played in its development.  It was important to recognize as well that other subjects (e.g., science, music, world history, politics, economics, the environment) were not divorced from the process of art making and thus the totality of cultural formation.

​

My art work for The Physics Project was inspired by a personal interest in physics, and the writings of Alan P. Lightman, Ph.D., physicist, author ("Einstein's Dreams," 1993), essayist, and Adjunct Professor of Humanities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
