Artists Registry

In 2001, I traveled to New York City a week after the September 11 tragedy to assist with the relief efforts and painted a huge,three-panel mural of the American flag. This experience in New York inspired me.

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.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

This song is dedicated to all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. To the first responders who never came home and to those who continue to lose their lives because of their bravery and selflessness that day.

Introduction for C.D.- We Are American's

I painted a series of pictures from the 9/11 disaster from life (beginning that very day) as a personal catharsis as well as for historical purposes to give a painter's perspective of the event.

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.
