Artist Statement:
Art is the link that binds
peoples and shares concepts
and emotions without words. It
is a means of telling a story,
exploring hidden recesses,
opening and cleansing wounds,
helping others to understand
our culture and thought
processes, educating where
words can be misconstrued,
learning to feel what others
may feel and much more. This
is true of all the arts,
whether they be visual or
performing, conceptual
constructs or recognizable
realities.
It is my hope that my works,
which all have a tendancy
toward the didactic, will
speak of my hopes that
humanity can and will grow to
adulthood and learn patience,
compassion, honesty, the
understanding that humans are
merely one of many life forms
sharing this planet, and the
only one that can improve or
destroy it all. Conscience and
awareness together share the
most important places beneath
the surface materials used to
create the works I am now
doing in unseemly haste, as
though I feel I may be lacking
in time to explore all I long
to see and do on paper and
other media.
I bid you welcome and hope
that what I do may touch you
and bring you joy and the

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
A writer from childhood, I have discovered that no matter how precise a word, it is merely a word and can neither explore nor express the true depths of my feelings. I turned to art to express what words cannot, and as another means of communicating my thoughts, be they polical, social or philosophical. Art is a tie that binds me to others, to sharing and has become necessary for a sane and balanced life. |

| Your Personal Biography |
A dual citizen (Amer/FR) and bilingual, I have spent most of my life straddling two cultures and exploring various and highly diverse fields. I am now living in Switzerland.
I am a Rooster and a Libra. An entrepreneurial leader and a negotiator, a facilitator and a teacher, yet others are my mainstay and my primary teachers.
I obtained a Master's in Anglo-American studies with a thesis in Black Power from the Univerity of Paris and recently, a Coaching (individual and corporate) certificate from the IRSP in Lausanne, Switzerland.
I am frequently a translator and simultaneous interpretor.
My writing (particularly my poetry) has frequently been published. I am presently a gallery director and curator, as well as the President of an artists' non profit organization and member of the Marketing Club in Neuchatel, Switzerland.
My art work, after 40 years, is only now approaching the standards I feel merit sharing it. |
