Tucson-based artist, I work in many different media. Since more than fifty years, I have been selling and creating my own art. But I cannot remember when I did not consider myself to be an artist. I remember clearly the age of 4. I was still a child when it came to art. Oil sticks are my main medium, although I do also encaustic, sculptural, printmaking and drawing. I combine these techniques. I paint animals, landscapes, portraits and figures. Recently, I have been working with absolutely no subject. I am influenced by folk art and pre-Columbian and ancient Egyptian art. Also, German Expressionism, Fauves and animals, as well as my subconscious. Many private and public collections, including the Tucson Public Library and Ronald MacDonald House in Tucson and around the world include my work.
