i paint and i sculpt. murals are large projects and the rewards are large. the larger the project, the greater the satisfaction, passion and planning. i also like more sublime creations. fountains encompass my scuptural carvings and the flow of water over, within and around the rock. my paintings are emotional jazz montages. usually, i employ vibrant color combinations within a space, a landscape and/or figures. each painting is a seperate visual symphony for me. many artists influence me. they include klee, van gogh, matisse, chagall, kadinsky, peter max, r. crumb, rodin, monet, picasso, miro, calder and gaugin.
