"Remove the veil, reveal thy self and the mystery will unfold"

   "My passion for printmaking has released me into a world of the unknown translated through the integration of traditional processes of litho- graphy and etching, which I have combined with new techniques such as calligraphy."

     "My work reflects my preoccupation with humanity and its relationship to the universe.  Fragmented images of man and woman surrounded by the forces of nature down below and the power of the  universe up above carry
our destiny: the cycle of life."

     "The written word in may languages represents both my heritage and mankind's universality. The
images attempt to touch the place where frontiers are nonexistent."

     "I use fine  transparent printed fragments of Japanese paper collaged to the painting or print in process, to add to the subtle mystery of the work."
