Criticism
"With his masterful technique and luminous palette, he creates the
consummate Post-Modern still life of our disposable consumer culture."

About
the Work
These paintings are explorations of modern subjects; supermarket treasures
that are often used but perhaps seldom seen. All of the works delight
in the kaleidoscopic shapes of transparent color found in such subjects
when revealed in the wonder of light. I have seen these things.
