Much of my work is based on cubism, giving figurative images a flatness, representing our anonymity until we begin to physically, mentally, and most important, spiritually overlap one another like pieces in a kaleidoscope. This constantly changes, and we regroup in order to share different aspects of ourselves with those we come in contact with during our lifetime.
I’ve been influenced by the linear cubism of Picasso, Braque and Klee. As a child, I was highly motivated by the broken prismatic feel of the kaleidoscope and stained glass. A fascination with small shapes carried over to my own abstract paintings.
Years in Southern California saturated my palette with the drenched color brought about by the noon sun. As opposed to cubism, my Southwestern work is done in an impressionistic/fauvist style influenced by Matisse, Van Gogh, Monet, and others whose paintings have been a guiding light to the world of art history and application. I’ve exhibited in the United States and Europe and can also be found in private collections on both continents. I’ve also been included in various publications over the years.
Please enjoy the images I bring to your experience and imagination. And feel free to contact me about commissions.
