the space he invades Painting

I usually have some made-up story in my head that runs along with me as I paint. But this story will twist and turn and morph, so that when I'm done with the painting all that I'll have left are some blown apart bits. Narrative icons that are strewn within a curious abstract landscape. Overall, my paintings are playful and full of joy, with just a hint of melancholy - they are my reaction to the world around me. . . BIO I have shown my artwork in group and solo shows in New York City and nationwide, and internationally in Brussels, Australia, Berlin, China, Vienna and Russia. My art has been in past exhibits at The Drawing Center Museum in New York, Monmouth Museum in New Jersey, MarinMOCA in California and Attleboro Museum in Massachusetts. I've been awarded residency fellowships at the Millay Colony, MASS MoCA and Vermont Studio Center. My art and short stories been featured in multiple journals including the New England Review, Alexandria Quarterly and the Library as Incubator Project. My work is included in numerous private and corporate collections, including Truninger AG in Zurich, Switzerland and the Hammond Museum, North Salem, NY. I live and paint in the far northern reaches Manhattan, New York.
