"Pears No. 262" |
I developed an interest in art while attending free
drawing classes at the Cleveland Art Museum. The Old Masters
realism in their still life paintings and their bold colors have
always inspired and intrigued me. I work in pastels and oils,
painting landscapes and still life. I find that there is
elegance in simplicity in a painting. My world-famous pear
paintings mostly identify me and my work. The pears are a still
life with a twist and take on human attributes. Although the
backgrounds vary, the pears hover in family groups, standing alone or
falling from the sky. Individuals and corporations throughout
the country have collected my works. To date, over 335 pear
paintings have been completed.
