I have been working on a series of animal drawings inspired by the ancient Lascaux cave paintings. The iconic shapes and forms of animals, past and present, are among my many interests in art. Some of my works are direct and personal interpretations of the original cave paintings, while others ruminate on the shapes of contemporary animals. In either case, my attempt is to capture an essential spiritual quality of animals that has inspired humankind for thousands of years. SELECTED AWARDS AND EXHIBITIONS 2004 - Minnesota [see more]
