Pop Utopia
Artist's Statement

My work consists mainly of brightly colored paintings based on underground blueprints, architectural plans, and technological drawings.

Our society's technological and architectural advancements both delight and disgust us. As vehicles of desire and creative thought, they perform necessary functions for habitation and development. Our societal structures and technologcial advances are equally capable of empowering and disabling us. We have nuclear weapons, biological terrorism, population overcrowding, and flight path congestion in every city, relying on beneficent safety measures to resist them.

As subjects, I use biotechnological illustration charts, underground and air transportation paths, diagrams of plumbing and heating systems, and computer based technological images. I then trasnform them with vivid colors through painting and drawing. Starting with a diagrammatic base, I draw parts dissected from my reference materiasl on paper or panel. Using mostly acrylic paint, I create pseudo-systems that are a base for my seemingly abstract paintings. Then with the help of drafting tools and other materials such as colored pencil, markers and gouache, I build layers of information. Throughout this trasnformation, I attempt to infuse my subject matter with a piercing beauty and a bit of humor.

I am influenced by the drawings of architects such as Paulo Solari, and the later work of Frank Lloyd Wright. My art is also informed by such diverse genres as the funky Utopian world found on the Jetsons cartoon series, among others and planned underground safe cities desgined during the Cold war. My color schemes, partly derived from popular American cultures, are inspired by minute observations of daily life, mundane things ...a dress in a store window, holiday decorations, and even the cover of Wired magazine.

The concept of beauty firmly grounded upon proportion, order, and color compels my art. The creative process enables me to understand the abstractions of human development and modern society's obsession with technology on my own terms.

Our debt to Bill Moyers Our debt to Bill Moyers
Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia."

Is Gaddi Leaving? Is Gaddi Leaving?
Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors.
