Desire to become an artist led me to SoHo in NYC where I had my first studio on White st. I met many artists and began to shape my own unique style. I moved to the Meat Market on 14th st. and had a 3rd floor loft with 3 skylights; I flourished on the energy of the NY art scene and began to show in prominent galleries.
I love to experiment with many materials from oils to acrylics to making my won paint and even using venetian plaster in my large-scale murals. The concepts in my easel paintings suggested large scale and recently I completed several murals; “Red zone” the largest of them is 12 feet by 32 feet.
In 1999 I won the international Pollock-Krasner grant for painting. My pieces are in many collections among them the novelist Oscar Hijuelos, actor Richard Gere, and the Newark and Tampa Museums. I truly enjoy bringing a rich visual experience to art lovers.
My paintings seek to evoke nature, and a premonition of the future. The vision is the joining of the natural and the technological, the primitive and the modern and the earth’s natural order combined with the man made, in harmony. The techniques within the paintings advance the medium to express iridescence, transparency and changing color; much as our sun displays changing light, dramatic tones and color upon our environment, by rising and setting illuminating our days.
