Artist Statement:
"When I was very young, I
suffered from depression and
discovered that drawing
provided a means to escape
what was too painful for me to
experience or to understand.
I found I could immerse myself
in the possibilities and
visions which unfolded before
me as I let myself draw the
imaginary and the unseen.
Through the years, I have
maintained that exploratory
attitude, each piece a passage
or the suggestion of something
just beyond the line of sight.
I was taught techniques in
drawing and painting by my
uncle, an artist who was
trained at Cooper Union. In
my teen age years, I was
greatly influenced and
impressed by the Abstract
Expressionists of the 60’s. I
lived in New York City and was
exposed first hand to the
works of Rothko, Kline, Klee,
Munch, Miro, Calder,
Kandinsky, de Kooning, as well
as the work of the Pop artists
and artists of the streets and
subways. I studied the
masters, gaining the
inspiration and courage from
their work and their example
to chart my own course --
always seeking a new way to
manipulate the reality of what
I saw -- experimenting with
shape and color and
composition as well as
mediums...
