In an article in The Taos News dated September 26th, 2002 Rick Romancito refers to my work "Reflections" or "Utopia Broken" as oddly titled. Aptly titled would have been more appropriate.

In my collection Remembering Heroes of America I explore the meaning of good and evil, freedom, liberty, the force of divine justice and superheroes. In the process of this exploration, I also honor the memory of the lives lost in the attacks of 9/11.

As a realist I always strive to create art that stirs emotion and transforms the viewer. My hope with the 911 tribute art is that it transforms and helps to heal.

I would describe my work as natural, spontaneous free and a reflection of my spirit.

The series "Turmoil" and "In Flight" show a world inflicted by war, ethnic struggles, terrorism and global unrest.

Statement of Work

This work represents three facets of the World Trade Center:

I wrote this right after that first rain fall of 9/11! It was always hot and muggy up until that Sunday night in September 2001. I still have not forgotten it and continually write about those three weeks and my experience of 9/11!

In Japanese culture, the making of one thousand paper cranes grants a wish. With making over one thousand cranes to create the American Flag, I wish that the souls of the victims of September 11, 2001 find peace.

Our students studied the effects 9/11 had and continues to have humans, communities, and nations.  They researched the peaceful gestures of Gander, Newfoundland to resilience of the rescue dogs.  Students researched los
