​

                                         Curriculum Vitae

​

   As a professional artist, I have exhibited my artwork in galleries and museums all over the United States. I have won numerous awards and my work has been added to many collections in museum and private collections. In my paintings I explore geometric abstraction with color, form and line to express emotions, and thoughts.

​

Why Abstraction in art?

With the retreat of the authoritarian forces of religion and aristocracy in the Twentieth Century, the only valid source of exploring the nature of realty with through abstraction.

​

My art work explores my emotions through color, form and line to convey my thoughts and experiences that extend beyond physical reality.
