"The Slugger", Michael Jack Schmidt, issued in 1990, is a 32" x 22" serigraph numbered 249/300 in mint condition and flawlessly signed in pencil in lower margin by Mike Schmidt and famous sports artist LeRoy Neiman. Using vibrant colors, Neiman depicted famous athletes and sporting events. A prolific painter, Neiman is celebrated for his dramatic, lively work.

This modern classic, issued the year following Schmidt's retirement from the game in 1989, is widely recognized as the premier Schmidt signed display piece. Schmidt is considered by many to be the greatest third baseman in baseball history. In addition to 10 Gold Glove Awards, Schmidt also garnered 3 MVP Awards and is one of only 23 players to hit 500 or more home runs. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995 and was later named to Baseball's prestigious All-Century Team in 1999.

Edition limited in number to 356 total impressions (300 numbered impressions), 50 artist's proofs, and 6 printer's proofs).

My oil painting, "What Is A Man Anyhow?" is in honor of Walt Whitman's 200th birthday and is Inspired by the poem, "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman. My interpretation of the poem, "Song of Myself" reflects Whitmans's views on the inequity of life in America during his time. Whitman communicates his torment and thoughts on mankind and the contradictions of democracy in the late 1800s. His words from the 1800s are as relevant then as they are today in the 2000s. For my painting, I used an excerpt from Section 20 of the 1892 version of "Song of Myself." The torment of the poem is reflected in the subject of the painting's facial expression as well as his gesture. And I loved the verse - "I will wear my hat as I please."

Wall Sculpture - Mixed media on wood panel 12" x 12.25" x 6.5"

Sculpture and dance have been two passions in my life since I was a kid. The memories of that dance are stamped in my pieces. The themes of movement, space and communication are constantly present in my artwork.

I enjoy working with a technique that I have developed over time and in which I use different materials including paper. It is a good vehicle I have found to express my themes.

Chris Curchin, OIL ON CANVAS, 40" x 30" Strip framed.

Oil on canvas painting of figures on an elevated train, painted with lines, dots and primary colors.

My figurative work involves faces and figures decorated with dots of color in motifs of flower, rosette, teardrop, scroll and leaf. For me the paintings express an allusion to mortality, matter and energy fields. There are dot elements in decorative techniques used around the world in various forms. Mine developed out of restoration work on Morrocan painted furniture but later evolved in connection with my experiences with meditation and Reiki.
