Artist Statement:
As I see it, the human figure
embodies what life is all
about, in more than the
physical plane. It is the
symbolic image of existence.
Through the years, my morphic
re-invention of the human
figure has given meaning to
the search for my own
pictorial language. The faces,
warriors, torsos and other
images in my artwork reveal
the complexity of my
spirit....
