| 关于此艺术家 |
My art is is influenced by the multicultural environment I have been exposed to. I am influenced by Native North American art such as our Indians from the west coast, and the Inuit carvers I have been working with. I also have an Italian background and I am heavily influenced by European art of the last 100 years. much of my bright colours stem from Mexican and South American influence's. My work sometimes has a surreal and psychological undercurrent to It.I have numerous paintings and sculptures of public art in the province of Alberta and city of Calgary |
