Piece description from the artist
That's the Benjamin Franklin bridge off in the distance. The landscape is the future site of the Sugarhouse Casino, which was built in Philadelphia shortly after.
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.
