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...
