My childhood interest in art matured into a love of painting natural landscapes by my late twenties. I draw inspiration by carefully observing the simple and beautiful characteristics of nature and then creatively express them in many ways using varied media – acrylic, watercolors, oil, paper, clay, wood, etc. I am largely a self-taught artist, with a passion and joy for travel and photography that inspires creative expression in my artwork. I am an active member of many Southern NH & Greater Boston area art associations, inspiring and getting inspired by other co-artists.

I have been a watercolorist and an oil painter since 1965 where I was inspired by scenes of western Connecticut. Settling in New Hampshire in the 70’s I continued to paint and work in photography, spending 23 years working with the portrait photographer Arthur Whitty and painting freelance.

Fine Arts are an integral part of my design process. As a professional graphic designer, I spend a great deal of time developing ideas through illustration and sketches, which often develop into broader, non-commercial work. My children, Levity, Arabella, Music and Julian are all emerging artists, and their work is a constant inspiration for my own. We are a collaborative group exhibiting together at ArtWalk!

I became fascinated with marionettes at age six when I saw one in a toy store window. For my seventh birthday I received a marionette stage and a marionette and learned how to manipulate the string puppet by instructions on the box.

I have always been creative, and art has always been a big part of my life. Whether it was teaching art in school or to my children at home, I have always felt a strong connection to the fine arts. New England is full of beautiful scenes that are just waiting to be painted. My favorite scenes are from the east coast, where the seasons change and where we have so many opportunities to view beauty everywhere...the mountains, the seas, the lakes, and farmland.

I am a self-taught photographer living with my wife Beth in Nashua.  I am very passionate about photography and I love to travel to new locations with my camera, where I enjoy shooting landscapes, animals and people, capturing unique images from all over the country. Find out more about my work at my web site and Facebook page.

My landscape drawings are done in pen and ink and are created through a rich blend of values and textures.  I use a unique blend of cross hatching, contour and parallel lines, stippling and scrumbling techniques that create mood and feel of life and motion – as if I paint with my pens.  While creation inspires most of my work, I also draw old barns and mill buildings that once were so central to New England life.

I am an artist based out of the attic of some lady's house in Nashua. Photography for me is collaborative art between myself and the rest of the world. Sometimes the rest of the world is nature, sometimes it is a scene passing by that I hope to steal for myself and my viewers, and sometimes it involves very, very patient friends. When I find a good photograph in the wild and take it, it feels like finding treasure. Usually when I take a photograph I feel like I am capturing or taking something (stealing) from the world.

As the discoverer of a process, a new form of 3D Art that generates color projections off a flat canvas when 3D glasses are worn, I have been creating art professionally for more than decade. Under the business name of Gidgeworld.com, the brilliant pallets in my on line art gallery can be enjoyed.  I am also a NH state legislator and have introduced Bill 279 to study the Economic Impact of the Arts and culture.  Bill 279 will give documentation to help to convince the public that when they celebrate, attend, invest in the arts and artists, it’s not just their hearts that are enriched, it has a significant impact on New Hampshire’s economy.

Process is my passion; the result of this passion is my artwork. Art making offers balance, a sense of calm. Patience, perseverance and passion. 

Acrylic paintings, digital photos, note cards

My interest is in making abstract mixed media art.  My paintings often look like an aerial view of rivers, deserts and mountain.  They start with texture that I build up with plaster, sand, rocks and modeling paste.  This I shape further by chiseling, scraping and sanding.  I pour, drip, brush and push acrylic colors and gels onto the canvas.

“When paintings call out to us and challenge us, they fulfill their function, which is to transcend indifference.” — Dominique Boutaud
