"Fortuna" is inspired by that which inspires an individual to follow their bliss in life. In our efforts to find happiness, we are often captivated, and sometimes waylaid, by fame, fortune and ephemeral pleasures. But when we look inside ourselves, seeking out the true origin of our happiness, we come to recognize that it was within us all along. Happiness and good fortune come to those who seek them, once they find a balance between want and need. The fish balanced on top of the child's ball is a conceptual nod to our childlike ability to dream of a happy future. The flamelike qualities of the fish's gesture relates to our indomitable human spirit. "Fortuna" is a one of a kind bronze sculpture which is sure attract good fortune to the home or art collection where it is being displayed!

Being raised on Mill Street, in the lower to middle-class mill town of Hope, Rhode Island, has been both a blessing and a curse in my ongoing creative endeavors. On the positive side - It encouraged me to be the dreamer and the optimist that I've come to be. Age five, is the first time I remember making the statement that I would one day become a famous artist. In my late fifties, I am still pursuing that dream. And when I consider that the most powerful works that I've ever created have been inspired by my indelible dreams, both nocturnal and waking, I can truthfully say that I am forever grateful for my modest upbringing. It forged in me, a tenacity of will and persistent attitude, which has kept me creating in spite of every setback or hardship. On the downside - I was raised with a mindset of poverty consciousness and trained in blue-collar work ethics (I was taught to work hard for meager wages). This well-meaning but misguided value system has regularly stymied my efforts to follow through on the artistic ambitions that I expressed as a child. Throughout most of my life, I've worked day jobs that I don't care about, simply to put food on the table for me and my family. As I've grown and become a seasoned artist, I've learned to see the beauty in all things, including my own station in life. I'll be making art until I draw my last breath, and if I should draw that last breath today, I am completely satisfied with how far I've come on this wonderful creative journey.
