These prints were made using a jelliplate along with relief printing and stencil. I incorporate found objects like bits of plastic grills from cars and box fans as stencils, infusing the artwork with patterned richness.

This series is a testament to my profound love for live music. I’ve been going out and drawing live music in small local venues in Brooklyn like Troost and Pete’s Candy Store for many years. I carry small handmade sketchbooks in my back pocket and make loose ink drawings, mostly in the dark, so I really don’t see the drawing until later.

I then take those small drawings and use them as starting points for larger paintings on wood panels, canvas and paper. Before painting the subject, I start out by underpainting the surface, using a mix of materials including spray paint, paint marker, ink and acrylic. I like to use found objects, such as the plastic grills from cars and box fans as stencils to create patterned textures.

Artists in Action is a series inspired by my experiences working on murals at the Welling Court Mural project and other public art events in New York. The original photos capture street artists immersed in the creative process, many of whom are friends. In my artistic approach, I carefully edit the photos to eliminate distractions, focusing solely on the artists' expressive gestures.

These modified images find a new life on unconventional canvases like old doors and signs. I start by loosely underpainting the surfaces before applying the subject using stencils, image transfer, and paint. The artworks vary in size, ranging from 8”x8” to 30”x40”.

Additionally, I explore different mediums on paper, employing techniques such as screenprinting, mono printing, and stencil work.

This series is based on photos of the shadows cast by the street signs, light posts and traffic lights in Greenpoint, Brooklyn where I’ve lived for 25 years.

I’ve always loved the early morning and late afternoon light and the shadows that are cast. I’m inspired by the shapes of the shadows, capturing the graphic shapes that reference signs but have no content, they point but have no direction.

The photos are just a starting point, I manipulate them, creating high contrast, deeply textured images. Then I use multiple techniques such as image transfer, screen printing and mono print to create richly layered works on paper which appear abstract at first glance but upon further inspection reveal details of the streets

These pieces are from various series that I’ve done over the years and are still available for purchase
