ARTIST'S STATEMENT
As an artist, technical skill
has has held little importance
for me. Although I put myself
through the same rigors of
academic study as any art
student, I did it on my own.
I am entirely self-taught. In
my journey through
expressionism and
traditionism, I began to
define my artistic style and
philosophy. I have chosen
primarily abstract expression
because I believe it allows
individual viewers to reach
inside themselves for their
own inner response to the
work. It affords me the
opportunity to create an
emotional response without
being specific.
My approach to art is
philosophical rather than
cerebral. I consider it a
process of
self-transformation. An image
exists within my soul which
must be expressed. I allow an
opening within myself through
which the image may move from
my soul to my mind for
expression. In development,
the art goes through
considerable change. Where
the work starts is totally
different from where it will
end.
It is the transformation that
occurs through the process of
painting and viewing the work,
more than the end result of my
work, which I love.

To whom it May Concern:
I am writing in reference to
an artist in whose work I
believe strongly. Greg Anka
came to me recently to assist
him in preparing his work for
viewing by other galleries. I
was quite impressed with the
work...
