<br /> Former Statement on Earlier works: I considered myself a visual story teller. My earlier works dwelled on the mutual
<br /> dependency between man and animal,or the interaction between animals and their unique humor. I searched for the
<br /> pregnant moments which inform and delight.
<br /> Now, surrealism has lost its glow or perhaps I am now freed from my past. In my future life, I have chosen a
<br /> path into an abstract world. It continues the"art" challenge to see and think of subject matter, color and
<br /> composition in a totally different way than previously. It frees my hand from the former intricate
<br /> painting. My aim, however, has always been to bring joy or comfort to the viewer and perhaps myself.
<br /> These new abstract paintings are closely tied to our environment. I use color in pleasant patterns to evoke
<br /> light and a mood. As Hans Hoffman said, `In nature light creates the color. In the picture, color
<br /> creates the light. " This is what I'm attempting to do in my most recent abstract paintings and
<br /> monoprints.
