I live near the North Hollywood Los Angeles Metro station, where I can hop on the Red Line subway train and ride the rail system to downtown Los Angeles and all points in-between. Fascinated by life on the subway line, I am working on a series of paintings called "Under the City" that captures what I see while riding the metro. The first painting in that series, "L.A. Subway," is shown here, and it provides a unique look at the megalopolis that I call home. The painting depicts a pensive woman riding home from a hard day's work. She wears scrubs and carries her possessions in an orange backpack; she stands because there are no seats left available on the crowded train. "L.A. Subway" is professionally framed in a thick black wooden frame, two inches in depth. The artwork "floats" in its frame, with a quarter inch space between the painting and its frame.

I was born in Los Angeles, California in 1953, where I continue to live and work as professional artist. A painter and printmaker who creates images based on social observation and empathy for common people, I am a proponent of a new Social Realism for the 21st century. I favor craft, skill, beauty, draftsmanship, and profound narrative in art, and strive to create works that convey humanist concerns and a sense of the spiritual. I have been deeply influenced by the likes of Goya, the Mexican Muralists, the German Expressionists, the American Social Realist School of the 1930s and 1940s, and the Chicano Arts movement of the late 1960s. My commitment to figurative realism and universal themes of human solidarity and compassion are the perfect counterbalance to these chaotic times. In 2004 I founded the popular web log "Art for a Change," where I write about the intersection of art and politics; you can view my blog here: www.art-for-a-change.com/blog
