The 2000’s

I finished building my studio and by 1996 I was able to get back to working with my fluid paints. The direction evolved into more complex and symbolic statements. “The Four Apparitions” were completed during this time. These images are based on different notions and ideas about religions. It took four years to complete this series. The amount of inlaid work and the development of more visual textures dominate this period.
