United States, 1968
I started making art when I was young and the framework keeps changing to this day, today. First I went to school and admired artists from various parts of art history and from world cultures. Back then I created thousands of paintings that emerged out of know where, inspired by life itself. In the 90's I moved from painting to using found objects in a painterly manner to create intimate environments, deeply personal, that spoke about being a world citizen. Then I went in a new direction and taught art to Junior High School students in Crown Heights Brooklyn for 3 years, teaching my students how to create anything out of something based on my previous creative je ne sais quoi. I learned through their eyes. Again life. Then I moved to teach Pre-Kindergarten Art in Elizabeth New Jersey for 25 years. I taught multi-modality art lessons for many years. The perspectives changed. Spontaneity became the main thing. My paintings have taken on the many perspectives interceding. In this painting, which is entitled "Some Of My Windows" I "finish" a picture that I made when I was four.
