My paintings find a harmony between the urban and the pastoral: the man-made and the natural. Most recently I’ve drawn inspiration from my surroundings in the borough of the Bronx, a place where city and country often mingle.
My paintings often depict singular people, sometimes heroic in scale. They are set against the backdrop of a mix of the urban and natural, yet are seen immersed within it. They serve as our guides to the world of the painting.
I find motifs in the immediate environment where I live, and from places culled from my memory: the color of a woman’s shirt in the intense afternoon sun; a dog silhouetted against a green lawn; a viaduct’s arch. I combine these elements not to illustrate a story, but to create refuge from the disorder of the urban experience as well as from the chaos of nature.
