Phil & Ken Wilber A long-time friend and supporter of my work, internationally renowned author and philosopher, Ken Wilber has written two Forewords to several of my books. He is an exceptional human being and I honor our friendship.

With my mentor Ernst Fuchs In 1973 I traveled to Vienna, Austria and entered into an intensive relationship as a student of the internationally renowned artist, Ernst Fuchs. Our friendship and professional cooperation continues to this day. My account of this unusual experience is recounted, in part, in my first book: DRINKING LIGHTNING - Art, Creativity and Transformation.

It was Maestro Fuchs who handed down to me - the knowledge and techniques of the old Renaissance masters. The mixed-technique of egg tempera and oil painting can be applied to any contemporary style and I have done just that, as I naturally produce works that encompass a spectrum of artistic expression Eventually, my gallery here will represent that versatile production. I will be forever grateful to old mentor and friend, Prof. Fuchs.
