Making art is inevitable for me and my creativity has its own agenda.  experience  painting  as a state of departure and temporary exile, a foreigner in  a landscape of risk and uncertainty. The spontaneity required by this technique engages the visceral expression in my nature.

The paintings are created by applying many layers of acrylic transparencies, chiseling them away, followed by more layering. Contrasts, dimensions and vibrancies are attained in this way.

I have been painting since 1969, both in and out of classes, yet still consider myself an emerging artist. Many artistic detours are taken along this journey of discovery, most recently forays into assemblage, mosaic andpique assiette garden sculptures.

To be taken seriously as an artist, one has to take oneself seriously as an artist  .  

                                     This is my voice spoken in colors.
