About The Artwork

Inner Peace is part of my Summer of Love Series. Sculptures entitled " Summer of Love", "Keeper of the Peace", "Inner Peace" and "Bearing Peace" are different interpretations of the iconic peace sign so prevalent during the 1960's. In a world so in need of peace, understanding, tolerance, and acceptance, we seek to rekindle that spirit of hope. Hope for the future. A little history , the peace sign was created by Gerald Holtom in 1958 by a British graphic designer as a symbol for nuclear disarmament. It was brought overseas by an advocate of Martin Luther King but later became an American icon in the late 1960’s in protest of the Vietnam War. Many of us have lived through that magical period in history. Today, the younger generation are fascinated and drawn to the ideals of the so called "counter culture”. In this high speed, hi-tech society we need a return to nature,tosimplicityinordertocreatepeacefulnessontheearth. Perhaps, we ourselves, as artists have tapped into the mythical vibe of a place so close, so pure.

Born in Staten Island, I am a native New Yorker. I attended the High School of Art and Design but didn’t find my calling until ten years after art school. At first I took some life drawing classes at the New School but then I found sculpting. I happened upon the studio of Arturo DiModica ( who is the creator of the infamous bull on Wall Street) where I started to learn stone carving. Then afterwards studied with Mr. Sabastiano Mineo and his son Ron at Art Life Studios on the upper east side. There, I worked in traditional stone and wood carving along with sculpting clay. I was fortunate to have a teacher and to this day , dear friend Ron Mineo who directed me onto my true path of metal working. I studied at the Sculpture Center on the upper east side. Steel / welding was an instant love and I have been working in it ever since. My career in metalwork has gone full circle over the past twenty five years . I began with the abstract, moved onto the functional , extended to the architectural and now have returned back to the sculptural with all disciplines under my belt. I am truly living my dream.
