Cul-de-Sac: Art from a Suburban Nation


I'm exhibiting in a show at the Radford University Art Museum in Radford Virginia this month. As my painting career has been on a bit of a back burner more often than not these past few years, I'm honored and encouraged by my inclusion in what promises to be an engaging exhibit.

Since postwar homes populate my paintings, many feel that my work is about suburbia. I quickly correct them, stating that my hometown which I paint is a small city, not suburbia. Nonetheless it's a subject oft addressed by artists raised from the baby boom to Generation X and I do indeed share many of their sensibilities and observations about life in these United States.

The University's site has a flash presentation halfway down the museum's page featuring several of the artists. I'll be exhibiting The Siege of Jean Avenue (illustrated here) and Madonna of the Power Lines, two pieces from the early 90s.

Jeannine's a great painter as well as a great designer. This site showcases both beautifully. One of the cleaner portfolio sites I've seen in some time. And the work will not disappoint.



She's damned good people, too.
