"35 years as a television producer, writer and director traveling the world, trying to see it objectively thru a lens, has offered me the gift of a cultural human experience I’d dreamed of from early childhood. I believe this to be the greatest reward in all my career!!

Now the need to share the idiosyncrasies of each and everyone of these cultures, capturing the similarities and common threads between all of us as “one people, living in one planet”,  has led me to try, in my own way, to interpret those primitive, original, and sometimes forgotten cultural icons, and bring them back to make it a part of our modern “civilized” world.

I bring together the elements of our earliest memories that linger with us so distinctively – papers, woods, leathers, beads, metals, cloths, strings, plasters, varnishes, and paints, building with them to create an expression and interpretation of the most primordial, natural and beautiful symbols, of that human artistic expression that transcends not only space… but time!​"
