My artwork is about exploration, expression of feeling, freedom, growth, and the search for meaning and balance where there is violence and chaos. In my artwork, I seek a balance between the mechanics of technology, nature, and what it is to be human.

Bio:  As a professional student, I attended as many schools as I could such as St. Leo University, New York University, University of Bridgeport, and Columbia University, where I received my doctorate in art and education. I think this degree was conferred for the first time in the history of the school to get me out of the school's studio.  It was not originally intended as a living space.

My artwork has been displayed at the Bronx Museum in New York, The Hudson River Valley Museum, The Museum of the National Arts, ArtWorks and others. Some of my artworks have appeared as illustrations for literary journals. I published a book of poetry at Enovel.com, which soon afterward went out of business . Other written works have appeared in art journals such as Art & Artists and hopelessly unprofitable but enriching literary journals.

After years of my own unprofitable and time-consuming exhibitions and publications, I decided to spend what little time I had on my artwork and display what I like on my website, artTechnology.com.

As a consequence of my great success at an un-lucrative career, I wasted many of my working years as a programmer/web developer. Programming is very tedious, laborious, and punctuated with moments of terror. A simple programming error can and has resulted in the loss of multi-million dollar investments and can cost lives. I have not been able to claim this notoriety for myself, but I have had my share of less spectacular moments of terror.

To keep up with all the changes in technology is sort of like treading water in a raging flood at night with no clue as to where the shore is. Absurdly, the more one struggles, the further one is pulled from shore. As an artist for many years, I can see there is not much difference in the amount of information, which not only blurs the edges between art and technology, but blurs your vision and gives you a headache.

Eventually, I went insane from programming and ruined my physic of rippling muscles and tight waist.  As a curious compensation, I believe the loss of mental faculties and physical qualities has added to the quality of art and writing.  My wife and child did appreciate the effort to make an honest living, which is no longer possible.

On the Contradiction of Belief and Violence

Whether we believe in God, Allah, A Great Spirit, Creative Energy, The Totality, or Evolution, God is God regardless of human precepts, utterances, and crude markings. Does frail mankind expect to pin down God with violence to enforce our human precepts? With fear, do we intend to force our view of God to prevail in human affairs? Do we place our view over God? Is this God's will, or our own arrogance? If we do not let God be God, who is God, but our own vanity. If we let God reveal the truth through nature, we can learn to accept God's eternal presence without contrivances. By what name do we call God? Is this another artificial barrier to knowing each other and accepting God's presence. Perhaps a better concept of God is silence.

Peace without Boasting

Is the peace of God found in the silent desert beyond the senses? Is a better prayer, a prayer without words? Perhaps in the quiet of the desert we find the eternal stillness that empties into the rivers of life. Food is no longer a blinding obsession but the bread of life. Power and glory fade in the honesty of the sun. Miracles are a matter of course when heaven and earth are united. The eternal compliments the temporal without boasting.
