About the artist:

Artist's Statement: My work, deeply personal and expressionistic in its nature, deals with the "human condition", my own life experiences, and impressions gained through my extensive travels to other countries and by exposure to their cultures. I have selected wood sculpture and oil painting (on various shaped canvasses) as the media for many of my works. These three-dimensional pieces combine the effects of painting and sculpture. Many of my ideas are also explored through mixed-media collages, combining different papers and a variety of techniques.
