2100ad
Since my Peace
Corps experience living with the Wayu indians in Colombia in 1976.
my art has reflected the spiritual belifs of the native peoples of
the Americas. The indigenous cultures created art as an expression
of deeper spiritual meanings."2100 a.d." is a cosmic contemplation
on the future of the native peoples.
Where are the sacred places?
This is one
in a group of paintings I did after going on a pilgrimage with the
Huichol People of Mexico. The Huichol are one of the few native people
that did not have contact with the Spanish and the modern world until
recently. They still use and harvest peyote for their religious ceremonies.
fetus dream
Conscienceness
before birth is the theme of "Fetus Dream". It also explores
my worries about cloning and gene research. I feel that as an artist,
I am connected to the original artists who felt a need to create art
that expressed a higher vision of their world and themselves.
saint michael
Saint
Michael is one of the first super heroes. He is sacred among the indigenous
peoples of Mexico and traditionally thought to do battle with the
devil. To me he represents the cosmic balancer keeping the opposing
forces of the universe in harmony.
