Give me a fury,
with rusted metal whiskers
and nostrils heaving flame,
something nether-worldly and gnarled.
A beast, that dare I give up on the world,
stares from the darkened corner
and considers eating me
if I do.

My work is always linked to nature, poetry, childhood and surrealist travel. Work must always be connected to nature. A renaissance where man and nature must coexist and live together. An inspiring nature must be the driving force.

I wanted to explore the tension between form and abstraction. The profile of the figure emerged naturally as I layered textures and colors, almost like it was waiting to be uncovered. The swirling blues are meant to feel alive, like waves or currents, capturing a sense of movement and transformation.

I make art to see what the world might look like in art. I am a New York-based artist. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bard College and an M.F.A. from Yale University. I have exhibited in numerous exhibitions and have worked in various public and private collections, including the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I live with my family in Brooklyn, New York.
