Over 50 years of intense creativity and technical finesse have lead down a path of mystery, humor, eroticism, lyricism, line, and color, and into the depths of the subconscious mind.  The work invites you to acquire a contemplative spirit and peer into an unpredictable world filled with life affirming surrealist fantasies and joyous abstract design.  His works are the permanent collections of numerous leading international museums.
