I spent a good number of hours behind the wheel of a yellow taxi cab observing, thinking, wondering,and composing long melodic nihilistic rock and roll poetry. Eventually I produced and performed some of these pieces in front of audiences in theaters and bars in downtown Manhattan . Once a friend commented to me that quite possibly his friends may not take a liking to my work. It seems his friends were of the sort that is attracted to beauty and my dark view point maybe was not their thing. Somewhere at the core, I heard him.

Within a year I found myself in India contemplating more than just my navel. My friend’s observation absolutely changed my life. Over the years, since my return from India, my art has brightened and expanded.

Being mostly self taught can be both a curse and a blessing…depending upon who you are hanging out with. For me it seems to be working. Working with beads has opened the doors to endless possibilities and surfaces to adorn. Most of the time in my studio I am working on a number of objects, from paintings to necklaces to mirrors to doors.

Besides all that, I find myself digging in the garden and hanging out with the plants. The common theme that runs through all my interests is the sense of truly being blessed to approach life in a beauty way. I attempt to spread and embellish this beauty throughout my work...
