About
I was born and raised on the middle Atlantic coastline of New Jersey, USA. Wandering freely and often alone as a boy through local woods, along streams, rivers and near the ocean made a lasting impact on me. As an adult I have enjoyed the two parallel careers of teaching children and making art. Most of my art work has been based in landscape, seascape and portraiture, lying somewhere among depiction, expression and abstraction.
I use a variety of materials, tools and techniques in pursuit of visual destinations which at first I usually can only vaguely define. My fidelity is not to any particular tradition or beyond what appeals to me optically, mentally, emotionally. Each work in the end must command a certain presence.
To date, my work has been exhibited in Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the United States.
I have lived in Luxembourg since 1987 and am a dual national citizen. I am married to the artist Diane Jodes and have a daughter, Mila.
