ABOUT
I craft symbolic narratives in my paintings, drawing inspiration from memories, events, emotions, and experiences. Whether triggered by a piece of music, a fleeting glance, a world event, or an overheard conversation, my artistic journey navigates from intuition to recognition, to obliteration and back. Within these moments of clarity, distinct shapes, colors, patterns, marks, and lines emerge, giving life to abstract paintings that convey ideas of protection, containment, joy, and opposition. I aim to delve into the realms of the past and present, as well as the tangible and imaginary. The narrative often revolves around emotions that can inspire the viewer to moments of curiosity and contemplation.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Solomon Page Creative Staffing – between 1999 and 2019, I launched a creative staffing agency that recruited the best and the brightest creative talent in NYC for entertainment, fashion, technology, and advertising while continuing to create art.
I have left the staffing industry and am now thrilled to be making art full-time.
