I have an established group of collectors in Mexico, Spain, England, and The United States. In addition, I have exhibited in many public libraries, community arts councils, and educational facilities. My work has also been reviewed on many occasions, most notably, The Kosmos Journal, Co-Creating the New Civilization, Lago and The Exodus Paintings by Nancy Roof, NY ,the Fine Art America “Etchings and Solar Plates Today”, the ART-TALK Magazine “The Exodus Paintings” , El Comercio, Asturias en New York by L. Villacorta, The Hudson Valley Press, by Jennifer Warren, the New York Catalogue review by W. Zimmer, contributing critic for The New York Times, The Rivertowns Enterprise by Judith Doolin Spikes ,the New York “Newsday” from Jonathan Fine, the “Art Speak” by Claude Le Sue ,the “Manhattan Arts” Artists in the 90”s by Marylyn Becker, The Noticias del Mundo, by David Boltano . I am primarily a painter, improvisation with varied materials has become essential to my process, and I continually explore unusual mediums to create new effects. I am also actively involved in the production of etchings, collages, and sculptures. Primitive symbols, archetypal images and organic forms inhabit and inform much of the work.
