About The Artwork
This work was inspired by a desire to document Lawrence Street, where I had previously lived, while residing in Chicago. Kalamazoo is 150 miles away from Chicago, so I do periodically travel there for a variety of reasons. I hope the viewer will have a sensation of awareness to the scene of Lawrence street and the Aragon Ballroom. The Aragon Ballroom is a notable venue for a variety of different productions. As with all of my paintings I use a minimum of three cotes of gesso on the canvas. The first cote is thinned down with water, which allows the gesso to soak into the fibers of the canvas, making it more durable over time. The subsequent cotes of primer are thickened up upon application.

I consider myself a regionalist painter. Similar in philosophy as Edward Hopper, Thomas Hart Benton and Andrew Wyeth. Instead of attaching themselves to a particular movement, they pushed their art into an individualist pursuit. About 35 years ago I started out to be a graphic designer. My tenure in that workforce was short lived and in retrospect I never liked design as much as fine arts. I have been painting on a daily basis now for around twenty years. I like the idea of being versatile with my skills, and I try not to limit myself to one particular subject matter. Having good drawing skills is important to me, and i believe it is an asset to all kinds of disciplines.
