Artist Statement
As an Art Instructor for City
College of San Francisco, I have had the
opportunity to experiment with a wide range of materials and projects
over the years and have developed my own unique style of
Surrealism. My style
combines a myriad of materials to create metaphysical fantasy dreams in
surreal
worlds which are meant to entice the eye, calm the soul and lift the
spirit. Vivid colors dance across the surface of shimmering bold
ethereal scenes. You
will find yourself amused and amazed as the fantasy
unfolds. Enjoy those
feelings as you experience each piece.Recently I’ve been experimenting
with
collage as a 3D component of each piece. I build out
with various
papers sometimes up to an inch and then weave the painting around
and over this
base. I also have been doing a series of seascapes with unusual
plants,animals and
fish.
