Curriculum vitae
Artist's Statement
Drawing from past experience as a film animator and art director, my
sculpture has evolved with an anamorphic, abstract and sensual
surrealism.
I developed a religious tone to some of my work while working on
church restoration, the statues of the saints and martyrs spoke to me
in a mysterious way.
I try to bring an animated feel to my work with the combination of
these styles and ideals.
The conflicts, the passion and the drama help me to establish my soul
and hopefully that of the stone's as well.
In Italy, marble from Carrara is known as "La Pietra Santa", the Holy
Stone. It has a power and magic over me, the crystals in the marble
resonate a frequency that electrifies my soul with mystic magnetism.

Me
All my marble sculpture have been created prior to September 7. 2001. Since then I suffered a disabling, massive and a 2-week coma inducing CVA (Stroke). Which has paralyzed my right side (hemiplegic.) During my coma the whole "911" infamous episose took place. Needless to say, when I finally woke-up I thought it was the "End-Of-The-World" based on TV and my condition! Since then I've been through months and months of therapy, but only my right hand has not responded as well as the rest of my body. I am still hemiplegic, but thank God my left hand, my drawing and art hand was not affected!
