Painter ยท New York City

Born and raised in New York City, I have spent decades exploring the interplay of light, color, and urban life through painting and drawing. My work is rooted in careful observation โ€” the way afternoon sun catches a Manhattan facade, the stillness of a Hudson River morning, the energy of a city that never quite rests.

I work primarily in oils and charcoal, drawn to the richness and depth these mediums offer. Each piece begins with long hours of looking before a single mark is made. I believe in taking time.

Artist Statement

Painting is my way of slowing down. In a city defined by pace, my studio is a place of deliberate quiet. I am interested in what persists beneath the surface of things โ€” the emotional weight of a particular light at a particular hour.

I hope these works invite the viewer to pause, and to see something familiar as if for the first time.
