Artist Statement "As a realist artist, I have always admired Leonardo daVinci's works and made a point of seeing his actual creations whenever possible. I was intrigued by his genius and his fascination with learning and, the more I read, the more I wanted to capture the feeling of creativity in my own works. "The year 2002 represents daVinci's 550th birthday. As a tribute to his extraordinary contributions to art and science, I thought it fitting to engage in a concentrated study his life and achievements and create a body of art inspired by his works. Working in two-dimensional paintings and drawings, as well as three-dimensional mixed media, I generated pieces based on themes found throughout daVinci's work. "The resulting series, Leonardo Revisited, includes paintings, drawings, and mixed media. While many works have been completed, others are currently in development."
