Artist Statement:
Described by New York Times critic Ken Johnson as a combination of “painterly verve and hellish beauty," my work is concerned with examining and amplifying the intrinsic abstract beauty of deteriorating or overlooked corners of the city's architecture, waterways and infrastructure. My paintings are about the intense energy and mystery inherent in scrap yards and deteriorating buildings marked by human use and abandonment. I seek out an emotional engagement with these places.
