INSIGHT

Born in NYC, 1946

I quite enjoy sketching, pencil lines on textured paper. Line delineating form – color painted on wood or canvas to follow.

Moved to Puerto Rico, Age 11

The more I consider why I make art, the more I realize it’s about pleasure. The pleasure of solving and making something beyond myself – even beyond what I had imagined.

Returned to NYC, Age 19

Am intrigued by the relationship between form and color: how size, shape, intensity of color affect each other within a given space; how colors and forms can be dissonant and harmonious at the same time.

I strive for my artwork to transmit a spiritual order. Through a formal, yet intuitive structure emerges an emotional expression via color. The objective is to achieve a certain purity through the art.

Now living in Greenville, SC

I enter into a meditative space as I sketch, prepare a surface, select colors, and lay down paint.

My objective in making art is to achieve harmony within myself, to explore my capabilities and share with others that which I have discovered.
