Why do I paint? I spent 25 years in Law Enforcement. I needed something to help me deal with the stress of work. So I started painting. I found that I could escape into my paintings, to take a blank canvas and create a portal into another world. It was a form of self therapy that brought me peace. When I retired I decided I wanted to devote my energies to my art. I wanted to create pieces that helped others escape the stress of daily life as well. Even if just for a short time. Being a martial artists since I was 10 and a practicing Shingon Buddhist, this naturally reflects in my work. Each piece is a moment in my life, a time when I was thinking of something, someone, or someplace. A feeling I was having at that moment that inspired me to paint that painting at that moment. Each piece is created with a meditative energy. I look to reach inside and share a small piece of myself while I create something to sooth and clam the mind, or maybe just take you to another time and place. So I created my own art company Dobert’s Canvas. My goal is to become an artist who’s work people look to for those momentary escapes to other places or times. Hopefully others will enjoy some of my work as much as I enjoy making them. I live in Clifton Park, NY with my very patient wife, 3 sons, 3 cats, dozens of exotic fish, and our duck, Duncan.
