ALCHEMICAL TRANSMUTATION

Facing the darkness of surviving 9/11 with PTSD and multiple cancers, and constant struggles with cognitive impairment, I paint what I want to feel rather than what I do feel.

Having painted for 50 years, I work intuitively. My palette is replete with powders and potions— acrylic and urethane mediums, pigment dispersions, dry pigments, ground metal and glittering inclusions from which I formulate paint. I focus on communicating union with the universe and the joy of that experience.
