artist’s statement
The art that I most admire speaks directly to the heart without mediation or explanation, like music. That is the goal that I reach for.

Artomatic, Board of Directors, 2004 – 2007, Executive Committee, 1999- 2004. I helped to conceive and execute these unique “by-artists-for-artists” events in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2007, which bring hundreds of artists together to fill vacant industrial space for 3 to 6 weeks with art, music, poetry, theater and the rampant creative spirit.
