Tu sei il mio paradiso eterno
la parola sincera
del verbo Amare
la mia vera destinazione
la disperazione
la mia ossessione...

"I was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico. For as long as I can remember I have always been fascinated by the process of drawing and painting. In 1974 I met two well respected artists: Siegfried Hahn and Howard Wexler, with whom I trained and studied over the next few years. Mr. Hahn studied at the Royal Academy in London and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in the 1930’s, and Mr. Wexler at the Pratt Institute. Through them, I was exposed to the drawing precepts of Lecoq de Boisbaudan, whose disciples included Rodin, Monet, Whistler, and Degas as well as the oil painting mediums of the late Jacques Maroger. I was trained both in oil and watercolor. The watercolor approach I employ arose from the 18th century Norwich School in England, and produced such great watercolorists as Cotman, Turner, and Girtin. I was also trained to use the Maroger mediums with my oils. The mediums were developed by Jacques Maroger who spent most of his life dedicated to reconstituting the lost painting mediums of the Renaissance and Baroque painters.
