Before he passed he gave the following statement about his art and his career.... OVER THE 78 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I’VE BECOME KNOWN AS AN INVENTOR AND EXPERIMENTAL ARTIST. ONE OF THE MIXED MEDIA PROCESSES I HAVE CREATED I AM SHOWING HERE. THE ART IS MADE WITH A VERY THICK VINYL COPOLYMER, SIMILAR TO ACRYLIC POLYMER. IT CONTAINS BRASS, BRONZE, PEWTER, COPPER, ALUMINUM, AND STAINLESS STEEL PIGMENTS. THIS “SLURRY”, WITH A CONSISTENCY OF MAYONAISE, IS APPLIED TO THE SURFACES (WOOD, CANVAS AND BOARD) WITH PALETTE KNIVES, BRUSHES AND SQUEEZE BOTTLES. A THINNER MIXTURE IS LATER APPLIED WITH A DRY BRUSH AND AIR BRUSH. THE COMPLETED RELIEFS LOOK INCREDIBLY LIKE DRIPPED METAL. I AM VERY BLESSED. FOF OVER 50 YEARS I HAVE EARNED A MIDDLE INCOME SOLELY FROM MY ARTWORK. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL LIFE AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME CONTINUE.
