The musings of an artist on Art, culture, philosophy, theology, politics and his own work. Jerub-Baal (pronounced jeh-rhueb bah-ahl) was the name given to the biblical Judge Gideon after he destroyed an altar to the Canaanite god Baal set up by his father and the people of Israel. As the origional iconoclast he sets the example that will be followed here.
I was born in 1959 in southern New Hampshire. In my sophomore year of high school I began attending Berwick Academy in South Berwick Maine. There I had the opportunity to study art under the illustrator Charles Andres. Next came the study of Design for Theatre at Northeastern University under Richard E. Schreiber. After college I continued to be involved with design and to explore painting while working various full time jobs, eventually settling in to a career in sales. After fifteen years of this I have struck off on my own (or been cast off by my last employer, depending on your viewpoint) into a fulltime life of painting. Following current events, reading history, researching on the internet and talking with friends and acquaintances helps me pursue my ideas about spirituality, symbolism and modern culture. My family and I live near Boston.
