I make things. I’ve just always made things. Lots of things.
Abstract painting is a good counterpoint to the precise work I do as an Architect. The challenge of abstract painting is to keep going when you are not sure where you are going; the reward is when you arrive somewhere you could not have imagined.
I live and paint in historic Marblehead, MA.
