Poth is a 51 year old native of Milwaukee who has been in New York for the last 23 years or so. This art instantly attracted me as being the definitive, fabled, maybe honored "Outsider Art." He says he starts with an idea, somehow it transfers itsself and then takes on a creative path of its own. Somewhere in there is a painting. A product of an aftermath, so to speak.
Poth spends a lot of time with his band, "The Books", and used to pin his paintings on the wall to sell at gigs in the early days. He has the outgoing personality of one who belongs to a band, but he warns he does not suffer liars or fools easily. He belongs to a group of Artists in the local area dedicated to the promotion of art in New Jersey. But New York is where the action is.
