of the local artists. He was
introduced to Impressionism
and
Surrealism, learned about
colors and techniques, and
about
the freedom of expression
through the Arts. He also
learned
about and experienced the
feeling of creativity. This
is what
first drove Cliff to explore
art. He studied with Al
Lagunero
and Julian Ritter as well as
having been inspired by many
other well known artists, such
as Coleman, Wyland and
others. Mostly, though, he
was self-taught.

As a result of his life
experiences, Cliff paints
environmental
and landscape art, depicting
the natural balance found in
nature. As he continues to
find himself further drawn to
exploring the Spiritual
harmony that exists in nature,
he works
to express these feelings and
sensations through his art.
His
paintings are his vision of
this natural Spiritual
Harmony, with
and without man's influence.
