Currently I am working on a body of large scale “urban-scapes.” I also produce small studies or plein-air works, as well as portraits and commissioned works. Come visit my studio in a recently restored Arts and Crafts home, to view my current work.

BIOGRAPHY

A native of the Ithaca area, I have recently returned following a sojourn in San Francisco. While in California I studied both painting and sculpture at the Academy of Art University. My time spent in San Francisco has heavily influenced my subject matter.

In my current series of large urban-oriented paintings, I am searching to elicit the interplay of personal and distant relationships in an urban community. While highly representational on the surface, the paintings all have an abstract beginning as I search for the abstract forms underneath (shapes and play of the lights and darks). The abstract forms generate the movement, and subsequently the mood of the painting. Some of the paintings portray an intimacy between subject and viewer while others are presented from a more removed and distant vantage point. All represent the various depths of personal experiences in an urban setting.
