Welcome to my on line gallery/studio. I hope you will visit the various galleries to see a sample of my art. I keep clearing up the space so to give room to "Me" in the present time and what was my original home page is been placed under Bio/Statement. Click on it if you want to know more about me and the organizations I belong.
With Picasso's quote: "God is really only another artist, he made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has no real style but keeps trying new ideas" - I feel validated! My work is a reflection of my life. I believe in color memory. I want my work to transport you “the viewer” to a time or place through the association of the hues you find in my paintings, the red tones of the Tuscan countryside, the depth of the lapis azul found in the various chapels throughout Italy, the burnt reds of the Pugliese countryside. I want the paintings to evoke more than color memory. I want to treat you “the viewer” to the sensual pleasure known as synesthesia, the concurrent response of two or more senses. I want the multilayers and texture of my paintings to link the ancient and the contemporary world. I want my paintings to beckon, invite, seduce and challenge you and it all simply starts with color. If I achieve all of this than I have succeeded.
