Piece description from the artist
This painting, "Gold on the Corner," was inspired by the captivating neon signs that illuminate the streets of Yonkers. The scene depicts a familiar pawn shop, its windows radiating a warm, golden light. The composition focuses on the reflections shimmering on the wet pavement, capturing a fleeting moment of urban beauty often overlooked in the everyday rush.
I paint New York City's wild edges – the parks, waterways, and forgotten green spaces where nature persists despite urban pressure.
Based in the Bronx, I'm currently exploring Van Cortlandt Park, one of NYC's largest and wildest parks. My work captures these landscapes in oil, focusing on the moments when light, water, and seasons transform familiar places into something unexpected.
I studied at Carnegie Mellon (BFA) and in England (MA in Arts and Ecology). My paintings are in private collections internationally.
