above are from the exhibit
Remnants and Fragments. This
exhibit was a result of my return to the Brooklyn roots at a
time when art weaved it's way into my soul.
Re-discovering art from the past which has now become
remnants & fragments of my artistic life, I have
re-envisioned parts and whole work into new painted
drawings. Small pieces of left
over block and textured papers were used to execute these
works. Small fine line pen find the edge drawings were made
from the original work. These drawings were photographed
and used to resize accurately with the use of my printer for
a beginning sketch. The small painted drawings were
executed numerous times using varying color combinations and
media. The influence was from my early days at Parsons New
York when the study of fabric & textiles required us to
create a 6" design for repeat purposes as well as
application and exploration of color enhancements. These
are not random designs but well though out parts of the good
people and places that have filled my life.

observation. Each image is visually transformed through a layering
process which include hand and digital enhancements, various
techniques used in printmaking, application of pen, inks, water based
paints, acrylic glazes and varnishes, All art work in each series are one of a kind originals. They
are produced on paper, canvas and aluminum. Some Art is
