ARTIST STATEMENT
When I see light illuminating a building or a stairway, sneaking in from the side, articulating the texture of a wall, or highlighting a detail, I feel the urge to reach out and touch it. By capturing the movement of light and making it tangible, I seek to preserve the instant of visual delight. I am pulled in by the imprint of the human species, the interaction of the buildings around us with nature, and the artistic process – these things attract me. Others may capture the untouched landscape….my eye is drawn to the built environment and its inhabitants, expressed in color, pattern, light and shadow.

ABOUT ME
Born in White Plains, New York, I received a B.S. in Design & Environmental Analysis from Cornell, and reside in Maplewood, New Jersey. I am a Design Manager at a NY architectural firm, specializing in architectural interiors.
