Artists¡¯ Statement
I have been involved in the arts my entire life. I am a published poet, having had work in a number of small magazines in the US, Canada and Great Britain and have made mosaic dining room walls and done interior design, as well as taught modern dance.
A number of years ago I picked up a digital camera, taught myself Photoshop and then also started working with acrylics on canvas. I joined the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists¡¯ Coalition and started showing my work. Lately I have been drawing and painting with pen and acrylics on paper and canvas and love the variety of artistic mediums available today. I have been very lucky in this endeavor as I have sold a number of works over the last few years which is a perk above and beyond the creative outlet I found in art.
When people ask me where I get the time to produce all this art, as I have a very full life, my answer is always that without making art I wouldn¡¯t be able to accomplish other things in my life. Art keeps me whole and moving forward. It is such a part of my life there is no question as to whether I have the time for such; without art I have no life. The only question for me is what type of art am I producing today
