Born on an Island in the Baltic Sea during WWII, I arrived in the SW via El Paso and Alamogordo (a center of the USA weapon complex) at 5 years old.

My paintings reflect not only the dichotomy between endless water and the desert, between our origins and our present\future, between abundance and scarcity, between our declared quest for (world) peace and our constant practice of ´warfare´ (whether on cancer,  drugs, terrorism,  nations), our superior ´Democracy´ versus our laws like the ´Patriot Act´ that serve the creation of Fascism, in general exploring real freedom, the pursuit of enlightenment AND THE SACRED as the basis of all life.
