vacarroI have been a sculptor actively working full time for the past 3 years and have participated in many group shows.

I recently completed an artists in residency at the School of Visual Arts in NYC over the past 9 weeks. I attended the University of New Orleans where I obtained a BA in Fine Arts- Sculpture.

I have traveled to Italy as an artist in residence in Pietra Santa to hone my skills as a marble carver. This was the summer of 1998.

I am presently a participant in a four person show in Newport RI. The show is currently due to end Aug.30,00.

My current work is an attempt to bridge the line between painting and sculpture using 3-D forms set in a field much like color is placed on a canvas but the shapes and colors are tangible and not illusion as in a painting. The work is about line and the movement your eye will follow when the work is completed. The work is set in the framework of traditional formalism with the post modern containment of chaos in motion form and color.

I try to activate space that involves each viewer or many levels with out specific ideas being given. The work allows the viewer to see what they want , stay and visit as will and have fun and remember what it was like to play as a child again in this fast moving world.
