I began oil painting as an adolescent. Painting served, among other things, as a way for me to mediate issues that arose during this stage of my development. My early work was influenced by a love of the Renaissance Masters. I was interested in their painting techniques, styles and subjects. When I studied with Reginald Marsh briefly and took a studio near him in 1952 I started doing egg tempera paintings and my focus shifted to city life.
Soon after Marsh's death in 1954 I returned to painting in oil and I became interested in artists - painters, musicians, and others as subjects for my paintings.
