Turq & Gold Collage

Former magazine editor, photographer, designer in Austin, Philadelphia, Paris, Mexico City, Washington DC. World traveler with deep focus in Mexico. Seven years open ocean, Atlantic. Forty-eight years attempting to make art. Mountaintop in the Ozarks, current residence and studio. Amazed and delighted to be alive and aware on a rock with a breathable atmosphere located at the edge of nowhere. A friend to all dogs. Absolutely passionate about creating art which amuses, fascinates, enlightens, disturbs, or in some way shares the awe I feel about the miracle of life and the wonder of our world. My art includes a non-traditional approach to collage, studies in visual rhythm, portraiture, photography often manipulated, satire and protest, abstracts, non-representational pieces exploring form, color, shadow and mystery, playful reinterpretations of the masters, posters via commissions, watercolors and sketches, and eye candy just for fun. Everything is processed digitally to arrive at the final work. Art is a verb!
