Diamond Braided Print

I was born in Brooklyn. I live in New Jersey. My career as a graphic designer has informed my work, I started painting a 12 years ago. Color is important to me. I see it first. It makes me take notice. It can be visceral and powerful. If the colors are combined with a compositional, lighting or textural element, its power grows. This observation of ordinary objects can become remarkable in a painting by using scale, composition and color. I strive in my art, through elements of reality and abstraction, to make visible what most people take for granted in their visual reality. I wish to express something positive, artistically serious, and perhaps a little whimsical.
