In a speech I gave in the spring of 2017 I tried to sum up the essence of what I feel every artist tries to accomplish. I stated “only that which refines the definition of the word has any chance to become that which it pretends to define.”
As a student I was enthralled with two topics, Art and Psychology.
At times I try to bring the two together in the same conversation. Though I taught Figure Drawing, Painting and Art History for decades, I am still enchanted with the idea of bringing Psychology and Painting together in a way that tries to define the moment when an individual makes a decision or comes to a realization about a dilemma or idea.

It is the search for that indefinable that intrigues me the most and of course, is the most elusive.
