Twenty-five years ago, Art Deco became a passion of immense proportions that I felt compelled to express in pen and ink. This was primarily due to my introduction into the works of the pre-eminent North American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. His influence advanced art, architecture, and design providing inspiration to countless people. I was one of those people he greatly influenced and wished to continue where this great master left off. The clean and timeless beauty of Art Deco, by definition, is a technique that combines shapes and patterns into elegant design formations. With a pocket full of dreams and the seductive lure of Art Deco, I decided to venture out on my own to find the missing link needed to establish myself as the next exclusive artist of Art Deco.
My Art Deco designs enabled me to invision applications in architecture, interior design, and accessories. With this concept in place, I proceeded to establish BONITAS DIMENSIONS, which incorporates the true meaning of this great art form. One may now find my Art Deco in carpets, tiling, hardwood flooring, wallpaper borders, glass bowls and vases, and paintings (oil and acrylic). All pieces are signed and dated by me.
"Bonitas Collection 98", which is featured under the New Product Section of the Smoke Shop Trade Magazine for August 1998, includes Jade Glass Desk Sets featuring Gold Sheaffer Pens and Jade Glass Cigar Ashtrays for men and women. "Bonitas Collection 98" accessories are signed, dated and numbered for the discerning collector.
All items are custom made and are very accommodating for both the home or office environment. For viewing purposes, a catalog of my works is now available.
