I was born in Salzburg, Austria, raised in The United States and Europe, and studied Medicine and Fine Arts at The Students League of New York, Parsons School of Design, and The Fashion Institute of Technology of New York. I am a sculptor working primarily in stone, clay, and wood.
My art is about connections.
As a working psychiatrist and artist, I have long been fascinated by connections. The connections between thoughts, and behaviors, fantasy, and reality, and between human beings.
I have found a way to express this through my art.
In my work, I connect physically through my senses and spiritually with the sculpture.
Within the sculpture itself there are a multitude of connections. As the work evolves it begins to interact with the environment and space around it.
While working in stone I am connected to a medium that represents the permanent end state of living material over a period of millions of years.
Through the process of sculpture I attend to bring out some of the internal life of an amorphous stone.
Aspired is that experience, when the physical aspects of the sculpture lead the viewer to connect to his inner self with thoughts and sensations similar to the artists. At that point a connection is established between two human beings who share a collective human experience. Thoughts gain momentum and take new directions.
I work out of a studio in Bushwick, New York. Some of my sculptures are in Private Collections, have been utilized for Film Sets and exhibited in Corporations.
