Art for Art’s Sake

About Me

I've been working on this site in an effort to display and my art. There is a large body of work to show and it includes different media, all original.

For the past 30 years I have been working in the printing industry as a graphic artist. Living with my wife and two children (both grown now).

In addition to the paintings, I've included some haiku and poetry. It's just another form of expression -- a kind of mental exercise for me.

   I constructed these as part of my Greek panoply.

8. Into Hades

   When did I pass into Hades?

   When did the archer become lodged beneath my tongue,

   to pay the ferryman?

   I don’t recall.

   Would Tyrtaeus have termed mine a “Beautiful Death?”

   I think not.

   Now I dwell amongst the many shades that are found here —

   without purpose, knowing no peace.

9. The Battle Of Glass Tears

   Night enfolds her cloak of holes
   Around the river meadow.
   Old moon-light stalks by broken ploughs
   Hides spokeless wheels in shadows.

   Sentries lean on thorn wood spears
   Blow on their hands, stare eastwards.
   Burnt with dream and taut with fear
   Dawn’s misty shawl upon them.

   Three hills apart great armies stir
   Spit oath and curse as day breaks
   Forming lines of horse and steel
   By even yards march forward.
