Much of my past interests were focused on science, but a more recent development is the emergence of my artistic side. If you want to check out my scientific accomplishments and interests, click on the "scientist" tab above. Anxious to communicate the joys of science I left the security of the laboratory bench to pursue a less-secure, more creative life-style. I have noted that many artists and scientists find it difficult to communicate. It is my goal to foster communication between these fields.

My chosen medium is "The Word."  I'm not a painter (although, I'm a pretty good photographer), nor a sculptor, nor architect and I'm definitely not a  dancer, but I love, and have always loved, plays, novels, poetry, music and the spoken word.  And, although I dabbled in film making and poetry my usual playground is the stage, occasionally as an actor, but, more often, as a playwright.  In this section of this website I will highlight some of my artistic endeavors.
 

What is art?  Well, I don't really know.  A quick search came up with a few definitions. Here's one (from Dictionary.com): "The quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance." Here's another definition: "The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination."  Check out this amusing animated video, which highlights the confusion of how define "art."

There are other definitions floating around, but I think of art as communication on the emotional level.  I have written numerous, mostly short, stage plays that have been produced.  But I also have experience in film and acting. Here is a link to my Artist resume.
