Notes on Style
I am JET III, a modern, one of a kind fine artist in the technological age.
My work is a progressive reaction to society. It is built on imagination, abstraction, representation, experimentation and observation. The work disregards personal style and symbolism by combining in endless form color combinations, transformations, manifestations, artistic precedents and ideals, and a kaleidoscope of dissimilar modes of expression.
Background
I have a Masters of Studio Art from NYU in 1983 where I studied under Ross Bleckner, Diane Blell, Marilyn Karp, John Kacere, Adele Weber, and Bob Kaupelis, among others. I received a Bachelors of Fine Art from SUNY Albany in 1979 where I studied drawing, painting, sculpture and photography. I've attended the Art Student League of NYC (Painting Award), New School University in NYC (Etching), School of Visual Arts (Design), and Ramapo College of NJ (K-12 and Art Teaching Certifications). I have worked as a graphic artist in photography and as a master printer, utilizing silkscreen and airbrush printing methods to make fine art prints and artworks. I've participated in solo and group art exhibitions in NYC and the surrounding Tri-state area.
Present
I currently live in Northern NJ where I've raised a family since 1990, working as an art professor and selling my artwork.
