Juste un peintre (Just a painter)

About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Painting is 'alchemy' for me... it's not about the money, it's the doorways I pass through, that matter.About me: Have lived and worked in Europe, and have traveled through most of the U.S.....Attended several schools, from UCLA, to The Brentwood School of Fine Art. Now, I just paint...My life as an artist has been an interesting evolution... I've gone from 'looking down' on abstract expressionists, to 'becoming' one myself... Currently, I have only 'highlights' from my work over the years, as I've had to once again hit the 'reset button' on my life. I'm back at it however, and am now very busy in my studio, and with life in general.

My Interests

Ancient history is at the top of my list, along with art, but I seem to be interested in just about everything.

I'd like to meet:

Les gens qui ne sont pas encore morts (People who are not yet dead)

Music:

All kinds...Especially 'World'

Movies:

Too numerous to mention here, but Jarmusch is at the very top.

Television:

Almost never---causes 'brain rot'--- watch two movies a month from Netflix, and even that's alot for me.

Books:

Recently read a book about Richard Diebenkorn, one of my favorite Abstract Expressionists...

Heroes:

Not much for heroes... but I greatly admire my son, who made it through the 'torments of hell,' to become a teacher...he'll be a damn good one. I also kinda admire a couple Zen Masters...but not that much, since I don't much care for religious 'professionals' :-)
