I'm a city kid...

I grew up in the shadows of elevated subway trains and vibrant streets of New York City of the 1960s. My world was shaped by the grit of back alleys, statuesque skyscrapers, and avant-garde ideas that challenged the norms of fashion, culture, cinema, and society as a whole. The strains of a muted Miles Davis trumpet became my soundtrack. And modern art, bold design, and rebellion crept into my soul—igniting a lifelong passion for the drama to be found in mysterious and unexpected places.

My work today is a continuation of this fascination. I’m constantly examining and drawing ideas from the overlooked details. hard edges, and intersections that invite the eye to journey through and beyond. This focus is often conveyed in formal, architectural compositions––devoid of animate objects––allowing the pure design elements to take center stage. 

The depicted spaces, though quiet and minimal, suggest lingering stories about the drama of absence and the impact of what once was (or what could have been) and my art making is an ongoing rediscovery—rooted in my past, but always looking forward to what’s coming next.
