Artist's Statement
My work depicts the street life, bicycles, and doorways
of lower Manhattan. I have been incorporating my photo
images into mixed-media paintings since 2003.
When photographing, I do not have a preconception as to
how the final image will appear. In the studio, I
respond to the photo by extending, and in some pieces
abstracting elements of the photograph by utilizing
acrylic paint and mixed-media. Occasionally a found
object is incorporated into the art.
Having painted for many years I have maintained a
passion for photography. I sought a way to unite the two
disciplines. I believe in the importance of light and
energy in forming the work. My present work captures the
glow of the most vibrant city in the world, New York.
