This piece was sold in 1980 at the Richview Public Library show in Etobicoke-my very first show. I was teaching at Father Serra School at the time. At the request of many of the parents, I held a show of 20 pieces. The show sold out. I kept on teaching for 18 years before taking the leap of faith in 1998. Needless to say, the work has evolved, and has fortunately augmented in value-but there's something about some of the early work........I want to thank the people who supported me and continue to follow my career today....Grazie!

This piece alludes to tensions between the eagle and the bear(Breznev) and the not so subtle road to Armageddon....

it was 1980. I was in my 20's. Surrealism was the coolest way to impress your friends and to let loose of some of the angst of youth.
