From the Artist . . ."I started out on Cape Cod in the fifties, attended the Art Institute of Boston in the early seventies and moved to the Southwest in the late nineties. The past few years my art has been focused on the Goddess, you can almost hear her when you walk the land out here.
"Living in the Southwest, I am currently captivated with the Virgin of Guadalupe and She appears in many of my paintings. By focusing on the Goddess I’m attempting to reawaken the feminine spirit into a world that is unbalanced, a world that has swung too far to the patriarchal. I’m drawn to the surrealist whose ideas represent thought and emotion and the blending of dream and non-dream states of consciousness."
