Early on eccentric art teachers infused the art bug that has remained an essential part of my life. Expressions thru different medias of music, design and art have always been the driving force for my creativity. Being a fan of Expressionism, Surrealism and abstracts some of my influences include Picasso, Miro, Matisse and Dali.
Living in South Florida the heat will play with one's mind and that's a good thing for me! I love colors and when the imagination from the heat kicks in, the result is a vibrant, crazy, whimsical painting. Typically I don't paint from photos or scenery instead I prefer automatic drawing letting my subconscious produce a mixture of fantasy and reality. I usually don't have any idea what I'm going to paint when I start a work. Good stories and mysteries of the universe help to inspire my art with hidden images or lessons coded within them. I love nature and all animals so they are often part of my compositions. Other subject matter contained in these paintings are the secret power of numbers and other ancient symbolic items of good fortune and well being from around the world intended to give a positive, uplifting presence for the viewer.
Some of the events I have participated in are showings at local galleries including Webber Art Gallery, Brewhouse Gallery and City of Lake Worth's mural painting festival "Going A-Wall."
I hope you enjoy my paintings!
