INCIDENTALS are a series of twenty small paintings (8" x 10") completed over a period of two years.
They were worked on in Santa Monica, CA and Coffeetown, PA - 2016-18.

INCIDENTALS are a painted journal of explorations. Very often when I’m working on a series of paintings I discover different techniques that may not be appropriate for the series that’s being created. I catalogue these discoveries until its possible to express them under a general theme or proposition. Discovery leads to discoveries that inspire.

Something about Crickets, movie – 2020 ...

Another compilation video - this is more of a social commentary purge to express  some of the pent-up frustrations which come from being too close to media sources during a global pandemic in the season of political saber-rattling.
A modal assembly of sound samples with the excellent live-sax work by Tom Bluder and keyboard tapestries by Tom Kort.
The majority of art was produced over the past few months of 2020 – with the debut of a few prophetic installations from the early 1980s – "A Road Not Often Traveled As Seen By One of Three Men In An Attitude of Terror, 1982". Cheltenham Arts Center, PA, Kling Gallery, Philadelphia., PA, Hudson Gallery, NYC - Albert Stirba III Collection; also, "Witness An Interrupted Kiss", 1984 installation from solo exhibition at Lehigh University Art Galleries, Bethlehem, PA
