His images are often comical and at times disquieting. His paintings are executed using techniques and a style reminiscent of the old masters, or what the artist himself has called "kind of Victorian". He gained national recognition in the mid 1970s and his work is included in the collections of several museums throughout the United States. © 2023 Art Leaders Gallery | All Rights Reserved
