Still Life With Ketchup Print

I'm a fine artist and illustrator, trained at Pratt Institute by both the faculty and my amazing fellow students. While attending college, I fell in love with Brooklyn which became my home for several decades and the subject of the majority of my paintings. Currently, I'm living in Montclair, NJ with my wife and two young daughters. I'm drawn to urban landscapes, although my love of nature and diving is also beginning to seep into my work. I become drawn to certain scenes or images and believe there is a universal appeal in the specific. I attempt to convey the mood and emotional connection that attracts me to a specific subject and through composition, color and specific elements and details, hoping this resonates with the viewer. Each image presents its unique challenges, which always keeps the process fresh.
