_____________________________________________________________________________
Trained in the Fine Arts and primarily an oil painter, I return with dedication to expressing myself creatively after a long period of time during which, because of life circumstances, I pursued other endeavors. At present, I am devising box constructions and developed my own style regardless of societys concept of art standards. They are unique to my own expression which is evident in their execution.
The boxes are not just a random assortment of material, but a studied chronicle of objects that give form, design, and life to the flotsam and jetsam of my life, and although my works deny rationale,
I invite the viewer to puzzle the intent, to participate in the imaginative life of the boxes, and to
rejoice with me in the spirit of creativity.
