Pieces are all from the current series of work that I am exploring. The title being: ‘Squiggles, Globules, and other Urban Marks.’ Most, but not all, are abstract expressionism. Occasionally, a figure arises. In 2010, I made a promise to a NYC Gallery owner, and to myself, that I would paint and create art every day. For the most part, I have kept that promise. For me, silly as it may sound, creating art is something comparable to breathing and eating. It brings joy to my soul. It is Zen-Like. Regardless of subject matter, or not, my work has evolved into a combination of two dimensional, mixed – media pieces. It ranges from figurative, to representational, to organic abstractions.
