Artistic Statement
I feel that there is a universal appeal in the specific. When I am attracted to a scene or subject, whatever the reason, I believe my connection and emotional attachment will be imbued in the final painting and ultimately resonate with the viewer. Each individual will see the work from a unique perspective based on his or her own life experiences. While I am a realistic painter, I do not consider myself a photorealist as I interpret and change my subjects, never hiding the fact that the work is a painted image, not a photo. Brooklyn, my home for roughly 20 years, and New York City are my favorite subject matter, but as an avid SCUBA diver and nature lover, more organic themes are beginning to appear in my work.
