Pictures have been man's vocabulary for centuries. we recognize shapes and colors, start decoding as children. Artists never stop this process...building and correlating in creative ways. I first became a visual artist when I was told, ..."it is a lifelong pursuit, a true artist never stops learning". At ten years of age learning in a structured formality in a museum setting, I remember the Dali painting, the Hudson River Valley masterpieces, large carved figurative sculptures in marble and bronze, the Joseph Cornell boxes, the O'Keefe flowers. Stepping from city streets into the museum rooms reflected calm and quiet. I realized than the jolt was different. Artistic movements are too. It affected me - to this day..

I still search for horizons. Blending new in the old...my drawings, paintings, and mixed-medias are expressions in forms of color and an abstract visual narrative. Studying blocks of color in a grueling class of Artist, Joseph Albers teachings and his 25 year research on color theory, I learned his system on the spectrums. An artist like myself relies on intuitive sense, a little Zen of the present...the now of discords that arrange a balance of contrasts. My figurative sculpture can be realistic or subjective. My ocean chart collages and my resin abstract paintings take form as their multi-layers result in biomorphic tactile and jewel smooth shapes. Myths, metaphors from history, formulas of color, observing nature and my poetic thirst inspire me to create each lyrical abstract piece.
