Reviews
2015" This artist takes a bold risk to take art into a new contemporary art era by expressing vulnerability in our being human"
- Kaveh Mojtabai/ Founder & Publisher of ARTSCOPE Magazine ( in his review of Into The Night )
2014" An excellent use of a limited palette emphasizes the angst of the sitter. Overwhelming color tends to dilute an emotional message and careful use of a
limited color range can be used to deliver the emotion most effectively, as seen here."
- Ronald L. Crusan/ Executive Director & Curator Of Ogunquit Museum of American Art ( in his review of Man In The Mirror)
