He is a consummate draftsman and watercolorist, and shows equal mastery of the mediums of pastel, etching and lithography, creating works that are unique in their compelling imagery and brilliant color. Some are small and intimate in scale, others are quite large or consist of series of photographs, pastels or gouaches...he draws images and ideas from such diverse traditions as those of classical antiquity, Beat-generation America, and contemporary India to extraordinary effect.
