About Me.
|
Born in Chicago, Illinois, I grew up in her west suburbs surrounded by a variety of cultures and diversity. In my earliest days, art found me.
I established the Kyrie Gallery in 2004 to showcase my work and have a place for art in my rural area of Pennsylvania (home since 1991). The Kyrie Gallery motto is "Art for Life" and is currently strictly an online space. My goal is always to produce work that touches lives and makes connections using my own references and ideas - creating art from life around me. This is my passion and great joy - who I believe I was designed to be. Experience
I have been creating and selling art for the over 35 years. Through those years, I have had the benefit of many wonderful art friends and colleagues who generously shared concepts, ideas and techniques along the way. I have grown as an artist through each one. Skilled work
Paintings realistic and surrealistic in oil and acrylic - Christian Contemporary Art - Sculptures in bronze, paper mache, cement and Pal Tiya - Fine Art Portraiture WORTH NOTING
Currently my work is exhibited at the Latrobe Art Center in Latrobe, PA and at The Artist's Hand in Indiana, PA. Two of my paintings - "Looking into the Future" and "Sharing Pears" - were purchased by the Greater Latrobe Area School District and are on display at the elementary schools there. My work is also at a number of local establishments in West Central PA including Mahaffey's own Starlite Restaurant and Lounge. I had the great honor of creating the "Sergeant Major Phil" to honor all veterans in Punxsutawney, PA. A public mural painted in 2013 can be viewed in Punxsutawney, PA as well as three painted in Mahaffey, PA - one to honor Korean War veteran and medal of honor recipient Melvin L. Brown, two to honor veterans at Mahaffey's VFW. |
