I have painted for many years.  Throughout my career in the music business I have found my creativity through visual art.  I went to the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in art and art history -- having switched from the Wharton School (!)  I ended up -- after having run a book and record store in Philly -- in the Bay Area where I met Bill Graham and joined Winterland Productions, his concert merchandising business.  This intersection of art, music, commerce and celebrity suited me just fine.  The industry grew with the times and I've worked in a number situations, from executive in larger companies to running my own business for thirteen years, on such tours as Eric Clapton, Queen, Josh Groban, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and many others.

Throughout this time I painted, mainly oils on canvas, spending more time on it in recent years. I've had shows in the Bay Area, open studios, and now opening this on-line gallery.

My work has a feel of outsider art, art brut.  Most of it is figurative, but seldom literal.  I love using vibrant colors.  Sometimes it can look whimsical, sometimes disturbing.  I also love the "aura" of original paintings, including brush strokes and palimpsets, but my digital art features pure color and simple flat design.  These can be found on my Prints gallery.
