Exhibition: July 2, 2022 through September 18, 2022

Artist Statement

Over the years, I have explored the idiom of abstraction and cubism and how these modern principles can be integrated into Trompe l’oeil.  I welcome the challenge of bridging the gap between modern art and realism without abandoning technique. I believe I have found ways of circumventing the so-called rules of Trompe l’oeil in favor of originality, inventiveness and creativity.  Most of my work since 1970 is highly complex and can be engaged on many different levels.  I have underscored the point that my work has less to do with the tenets of Trompe l’oeil and far more to do with the creative process of discovery.
