I
am a painter as a direct result of first having been a dancer with the
New York City Ballet under the direction of George Balanchine. Here I
was part of the highly charged atmosphere of dancers, choreographers,
costume designers and musicians, all working in concert (usually) toward
the common goal of creating art. I was first aware of things visual within
this context. Costume and set designs by Chagall, Roualt and Naguchi awed
and excited me. Their innovation and scale fascinated me. Frequent tours
to Europe and Russia further expanded my appreciation of great art. A
blank canvas for me is an empty stage. It suggests infinite space waiting
to be filled.
