Diving In Painting

In 2016, after 2 years of full-time tuition at the New York Art Students League and the prior 20 years as a designer/photographer, I transitioned to focus entirely on my professional art practice. I describe myself as a “multidisciplinary” artist. During the year 2020, I enjoyed some eureka moments in my creative journey. The 12 months of isolation demanded by the CoVid pandemic, offered me the precious commodity of time, to further explore and experiment with the alluring qualities of paints and materials. Insodoing, I was able to develop a unique technique to integrate 3D acrylic paint forms with the substrate painted surface thereby creating the appearance of a sculptural relief painting. The resulting creations have been described as “at once striking, complex, engaging and affecting”.
