Fearsomely jaded and cynical, and prone to drama, blatant misrepresentation and referring to himself in the third person, Geoff paints non-figurative pieces en plein air. Non-figurative because creating the painting's vocabulary on the fly forces him into his right brain and en plein air because fresh air and sunshine are good for even jaded and cynical souls. Like a Neil Young guitar solo, Geoff's paintings strive for formal rigor and a raw expressiveness beyond (some would say, "without") technique. His day job is not worth mentioning. He is human to his two turtles, "Chumbawumba" and "Chum," and has a friend who thinks the turtles should have been named "Cuff" and "Link."
