About
In 1969 when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, I landed in the Virgin Islands fresh from university, where I had taken all possible art courses and studied sculpture on the graduate level with Richard Stankiewicz. As a 60’s idealist, I was in search of a new way of looking at life; to find out what was universal to mankind and what was specific to the United States. I also wanted to work independently and find my voice as an artist. The Virgin Islands became my graduate school. My journey over the next 50 years has been to create work that questions the meaning of what makes life in the Caribbean, specifically the Virgin Islands, so unique. Much of my work references the personal drama inherent in mythology as it tells the stories of the transforming power of love, life, and death. Finally, how does this relate to the rest of the world and each of us personally and collectively as we navigate the wide Sargasso Sea of life.
