About The Artwork
From 1930 to 1936, there were massive drouts and over-farming in sections of the US leading to massive top soil erosion and dust storms. In a 1934 storm, dirt fell like snow in Chicago and much of the topsoil ended up in the oceans. The effect swelled to 100,000,000 useless acres in Oklahoma and Texas. 500,000 farmers were forced from their land to migrate to California to work others' farms at minimal wages. John Steinbeck wrote a famous novel "The Grapes of Wrath" around the phenomenon. Today we see similar trends outside of Beijing with over-grazing of prairie land and drout leading to massive dust storms and an encroaching dessert on a major city. It is estimated China loses 1 million acres of land a year to dust storms.

United States
From witnessing the Fall of the Berlin Wall inside the Iron Curtain to seeing the National Strike in Spain or the launch of the Euro in Brussels, history and politics dominant my themes. My art process is two-fold. Occasionally, the whole image springs forth like Athena from the head of Zeus while in others the image develops through the painting process itself. I strive to always develop my talent, master new styles and move to new direction similar to Picasso's development. A title must be meaningfully and the art must never repeat itself. I mastered my initial style under the tutelage of Tom Thomas in the Indiana cornfields.
