"To understand an artist it is not enough with being able to appreciate his art technique. To conform to that will be walk half way through a path with forms without any concern of what there may be said. That will be to conform alone with the very organized "matter" on a canva, paper, wood, etc. Any GOOD DECORATOR with a basic drawing, painting training and some imagination can do that. To understand an artist you need also, in addition to the technique, to face his statement in his works, to classify it and to evaluate it. For this is necessary to READ HIM (the artist), through his distance traveled in his lived enviroment and the way he had incorporated those experiences with his feelings in the Art."

Felix Berroa, 1995, Long Island, New York.

"I have always had an appreciation for fine woodwork, architectural and furniture. I am comforted by the resilient feel underfoot of a fine wood floor and the soft smoothness of a well used handrail. I am most drawn to pieces that emphasize the natural beauty of the grain and figure of wood and to simple and functional designs of everyday utilitarian objects such as seen in the Shaker heritage and the work of George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. I work with both power and hand tools to produce furniture that is pleasing to the eye, satisfying to the touch and functional in use."
