Eve talking to the snake is from a tiny sketch on paper that I did years ago….and because it’s Year of the Snake!

Birthday Duke –
framed pastel and charcoal on paper added to the mix – though not

FINE
ARTIST/PHOTOGRAPHER/WRITER/SINGER/MUSICIAN
I’m
not much different than a bee making honey, a spider spinning a web.
I mine the psyche and the spirit to make art. I’m just a vessel at
times – keeping myself in tune to participate in the act of
creation, which feels truly divine.
I
create with heart, hands and head in many media. I am intuitive,
instinctual, and often impulsive. Nature
is always calling the shots.
I
am always writing and perform as a singer/songwriter/poet Off Off
Broadway. I like to co-mingle media. My poetry and lyrics also
find their way into my images – especially ink drawings of nudes –
adding a literary component that takes the sensual visuals to the
cerebral plane.
I
am steeped in visual history from cave drawings to cartoons, from
Willendorfs to windmills, frescos to figleafs and fractals, papyrus
to Polaroids to pixels.
Coming
to NYC in the 80’s from Philadelphia, I “bopped around” various
neighborhoods in the East and West Village and Brooklyn concentrating
on poetry, music and live performances until settling in Hells
Kitchen when I put visual art on the front burner again.
Formally
trained as a sculptor, I studied figure drawing at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts and got modern with a NYC master of Abstract
Expressionism.
