paintI have been painting for many years now and in a variety of media. I suppose my favorite forms are watercolor and egg-tempera on oil or “misch” technique. This is the formal way of painting of Breughel, and Bottecelli and requires a paintstaking amount of time, underpainting and many eggs. But the con-trol one gets both with the luminance and the brush stroke really makes this the technique I most enjoy. As for the water-color it is often done as a sketch, for an oil and is a looser way with less steps to produce.

digital image Ever since I wrote my thesis TOWARDS LARGE_SCALE ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE for my Maters at MIT (1985), I have been working in the digital image making.The current work has been about the hybridization. Uprooted2007 concerns a year without a home to call our own as my family and I went through renovation. It is also a nod to my huge New Orleans-based family who has been surviving since Katrina Rita.
