Taking another look at my past as an artist in Minneapolis we come to my poetry works on canvas…
These paintings were created in 1999 somewhere during the time when I was experimenting with poetry, and they were fun. I will explore this idea again. I wrote three full books of poetry between 1996 and 2000. Sooner or later I will publish them. For now, just enjoy this abstraction of words.

Artist Statement
These compositions are based on a single improvisational repeated word scratched into the surface of the oil painting. Surface and composition are the focus of this work.
