The Works created have appeared in dozens of one-man and group exhibitions. The work evolves in and out of abstraction and expressionism, searching new ways to depict figures and inventing space with unerring focus often in a more primitive vocabulary. Struggles at stages are not shunned; feels it helps gently slow the process, often germinating richer versions out of previous works. Sculpture and paint resurfaced again in later years with attempts to revitalize the medium and bring in abstract chaos appealing more to a subversive way. It is that spark or feeling you get when something excites you, that is the source when creating new art in hopes it develops into authentic work. A documentary film on the work was in the Metropolitan Museum of Arts (program for art on film) through out the 1990's, as well as work selected for books and exhibitions by curators form the Whitney Museum and Met. One work not shown, entitled "Assembled liberty" was also selected for an SVA ten-year retrospective exhibition at the Leo Castelli gallery.
