Through painting and writing I have been tracking old, as well as new symbolic images. Having explored traditional icons, I have gone on to invent new ones that speak to our present time, occupations and interests. Threaded throughout is humor, for as the writer Umberto Ecco wisely noted, "Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from the insane passion for truth."
