Artist Statement:
My painting is based on the
figure and it's relationship
to inanimate objects in
obscure locales. Mysterious,
symbolic, and intimate, the
dramas unfold in a place where
time and space are compressed.
I paint for the mind's eye.
Logic and common sense only
interfere. My work lives in a
visionary world, where
symbolism and dislocation
breathe. Where gravitational
laws are often abandoned and
the images capture moments
when the mind is disoriented.


The figures drift among
fractured thoughts,
architectural motifs and
isolated everyday items.
Subjects cross-reference each
other. People often appear to
be entirely encased in their
own thoughts. They are
sometimes repeated within the
same painting, lost in
thought. The paintings inspire
thought on the minutiae of
daily living. Rather than
simple colorful pictures;
instead my work are
mindscapes; where imagination
is the key for the
visual/emotional experience.
In my dream world, ideas
blossom and time momentary
stands still.

I work from live models,
charcoal drawings and a very
active imagination. As a
painting progresses, I begin a
narrative inspired by the
various subjects at hand.
Images, thoughts and
environments accumulate. These
are not premeditated works.
There is an ongoing
transformation of form, of
subject ...

Your Personal Biography My painting is about the relationship between the natural and artificial world set in obscure locations. Mysterious and symbolic, a story line begins in unusal places. I paint for the mind’s eye… logic and common sense only interfere. The people in the paintings live in a visionary world and where gravitational laws are often abandoned. I capture moments in time when the mind is dislocated, disoriented and unguarded.

The human figures drift among fractured thoughts, nature elements, and architectural motifs in vibrant color. The subjects cross-reference each other and speak about our place in time. The men and women appear to be entirely encased in their own thoughts… momentarily lost in reasoning. Meditative, the paintings invite reflection on the minutiae of daily living. Rather than simplistic pictures, instead these paintings are mindscapes… where the imagination reigns.

I work from my imagination, live models, charcoal drawings, and photos. As a painting progresses, a storyline emerges inspired by the various subjects at hand. Images, thoughts and environments accumulate. There is an ongoing transformation of form, subject and color. I was educated in NYC at the School of Visual Arts and in Richmond, VA at Virginia Commonwealth University where I received a B.F.A. in Art. I’m Lifetime Member of the Art Students League of New York.
