Through observation of a broad spectrum of art and stained glass history there developed a unique foundation from which he later drew symbols and images. The light and architecture of the east coast region were influential factors as can be seen in the early paintings shown below. As an English major in college he experimented outside of school with glass, wood, metal and paint until he met a professor who introduced him to abstract painting.
