Visual Art – Las Vegas

I have wandered the earth searching for the honesty that comes only from the true raw heart filled with dreams, nightmares and the next doorway to walk through. It is all about the story we carry within our hearts and souls. I have danced in NYC, Morocco, France, Germany, Israel, USA and my visual art hangs in galleries and private collections, poetry and books written/published and yet I still search for the one magical bit that will allow me to touch your soul and for just an instant stop time. I was born in The Bronx cut school to search the sewers for alligators from Florida crossed New Haven in the underground tunnels, spent 4 days on a mountain crying for a vision, cast bronze while rock bands rehearsed in the warehouse next door, lied my way aboard ship from North Africa to France, cried the tears of a broken heart so deeply the earth shook and the skies rumbled. Danced with abandon, swords, castanets leaving a trail in the sand to the Atlantic ocean. But I have never found a home. One enters sacred space in silence. Here in awe I stand still inside the battle rages. If I scream you surely would hear but my deepest desire is to count coup to touch you in the still quite essence and with out your knowing why bring you to tears or laughter. I wish to know your heart and to destroy my demons. For a moment to alter time\'s veil.
