18 X 24 Original acrylic painting on canvas

When I was 16 I received a guitar for my birthday, taught myself chords, and started composing songs.  I kept that up all the way through grad school, culminating in an album I self-recorded on Garage Band during a spate of post-graduation unemployment.  The poetry, playing, and singing of songs was one of the things that sustained me while my studies remained focused on science - an outlet. Then, for some reason, I just stopped and moved on to other artistic mediums - there's always been something.  I sometimes wondered if these seemingly dualistic aspects of my being - science and art - were parallel, convergent, or divergent, but what I've come to realize is that they are both rooted in a similar yearning for knowing - one of the world and one of the soul.  I think what I am trying to find in my painting are the places where these two kinds of knowing overlap - where they are completely the same.  Making myself whole in stitching all the pieces together.

Ships framed in a generously padded box. If you are local to Vermont you may also opt for “pickup” upon checkout at the Emile Gruppe Gallery in Jericho, VT.
