A bstract expressionism's allure brought me here a few years ago when I settled in New York City to do media based art. The lore of New York City's rich heritage in art communities was intrigueing. However recently ventured outdoors to do some gardening. After last summer 's commercial work - a change was needed and so engaged in environmental restoration and ecological education. There's a quaint connection for the period where Pollack was working for the FAP. In any case the oil paintings / oil pastels shown here are prophetic of a current floral perception - now it's become clear how important the natural world outside is.
