| Artist's Statement: |
| I believe that an artist has something to say or to point out, both to the artist or the viewer and due to my studies in the art history and literature of Latin America and the Caribbean, and my travels, my work is greatly influenced from what I have seen or read. I find that these areas offer a unique artistic language which results in a better vocabulary for expression. This coupled with ideas of dance and movement result in what I feel is an often ignored reality, one grounded in strong lines and the unexplainable giving expression not just for the peoples of these regions, but in a universal sense. This reality enters an emotional plane presenting the viewer an opportunity to witness an often uncomplimentary expression that manages to balance itself. I also believe in the melding and mixing of color with color being that which will ultimately present the viewer an experience of emotional revelation. |
