I am a figurative artist working in watercolor, acrylic and charcoal. Bodies and the expression of my own body are central to my ideas and how I connect to my subject. Sometimes my subject is Sumo wrestlers but the content is the sensual push and pull of lovers and the resulting ambiguity of passion vs. aggression. During the pandemic, as I have struggled with my solitary existence, my subject has become everyday women and men sometimes solitary like myself…sometimes as entangled lovers. I generally work from photos...particularly vintage. I choose ones that I connect to emotionally…sometimes they evoke a memory..sometimes it’s the energy in the photo..the magnetism of the subject…the texture of the environment or a quality of abstraction that I can pull from for composition.
I am represented by The Carter Burden Gallery in Chelsea where I had a solo show “Skin On Skin” in 2019. I have shown at Brandeis University, Harvard University, and several Brooklyn and Manhattan galleries. More recently, I have had work in The Beacon Artists Union, The Garrison Art Center, and The Howland Cultural Center in Westchester. I was a finalist for a grant from The Massachusetts Council On The Arts.
