My main emphasis has been to create my own way of painting. I had the basics, but went into new areas by instinct. I painted Egyptian paintings in the early 1970s. Then I worked on paintings I call Consciousness Art. For example, portraying how the land and water looked 100 years ago compared to today. There was a period in which I painted Native American Indian Art and learned about their culture. From the early 1970s I developed my own style that I called Expansionism--everything I sense I expand. The inner dynamics of the subject expand beyond its outward appearance, and into its environment. Then I went into Scientific paintings of molecules, genes, cells, etc. My whole life, I have worked on color combinations and strived to perfect my technique. I am about to enter another phase of my career.I create art because I feel the need to and enjoy it. My art is my solid rock. Whatever happens in life, my art is always with me. You change from all kinds of experiences and so do the paintings
