Artist Statement:
"Nature is not only all that
is visible to the eye, it also
includes the inner pictures of
the soul."
Edward Munch
My first memory of painting
was at four years of age and
it has continued as my
life’s dedication. My goal
as an artist has been to
consolidate multiple,
international influences
gained from a life of study
and travel throughout Europe,
the United States and Mexico.
My creative influences are
many and varied. They include
the surreal, violent, and
spiritual images of Picasso,
Goya, and Dali, Turner’s
mysterious and glorious skies
and cloud formations,
Rothko’s distant horizons
and soft edges, the monumental
forms and brilliant coloration
of the Mexican muralists
Rivera and Siqueros, and the
sensual power of Georgia
O’Keefe’s landscapes. I
have also been deeply
influenced by international
contemporary artists such as
Kaoru Arima’s (Japan)
haunting manipulated newspaper
collages, Ana Mendieta’s
(USA) uncanny use of nature
and natural materials combined
with photography, Lee
Bontecou’s (USA)
nature-inspired, mixed media
“crystalline” sculptural
forms, Harum Farocki’s
(Czechoslovakia) monumental
digital photographs and
videos, Isa Genzken’s
(Germany) complex
digitally-based mixed media
sculpture, and Mangelos’
(Croatia) postproduction
digital paintings and
sculptures...
