I have studied drawing and sculpting at the University of Wisconsin but my life diverged from the interest when I had to start supporting a family. My interest in art never went away and over the years I have visited many major art museums in both Europe and the United States.
After a 55 year break, I am returning to my first love-art. For the past four years I have been drawing in the past four years and painting in the last two years. My interest is in abstract figurative representations working in oil.
Artist Statement:
“Kant said that we cannot really see reality. What we see goes through the filter of the human mind. I like to think that my paintings are another picture of reality viewed through the skewed or jaundiced filter of my mind and in such a way as to possibly deepen the mystery of life or maybe cast light on the existence of life.”
