Rendering beauty to the commonplace, Our memories of the past come alive!

"Fortunately, at some point in my childhood, I began to gain an
appreciation for the simpler belongings of life. I think now, a field
trip to the McCarter Theater in Princeton, New Jersey, when I was 16,
helped crystallize all the things I held so dear to my heart; that is,
today, the core of my artistic sensibilities. The play was “Our Town”,
which takes place in the fictitious town of Grover’s Corners, New
Hampshire, a town not unlike the one where I spent so much of my early
years. The fictional town, and west Swansey, New Hampshire, the actual
town, were both in the shadow of Mt. Monadnock, an old gentle mountain
that I have climbed many times. The soul of both towns, to me, is the
essential spirituality behind all the images I have painted. It just
can’t help but be."
