Three Trees Collage

I have been a photographer and a painter my entire career. My most recent body of work, “Collages” is a combination of these two elements. The connection and interplay of the literal photographic image and the fluid inconsistency of the paint instill a dream like quality to my art. Cutting, tearing and taping images to the canvas, constantly rearranging their placement, adding and subtracting, sometimes shooting new imagery when the piece asks for something “more”, walking away and returning……..all conspire to reveal the story imbedded in the canvas. A lifetime in New York City has influenced my art. The city is forever stimulating and chaotic, I find inspiration everywhere. My urban art is combined with my imagery of travels around the world. Intimate images which represent beauty, chaos and the subconscious stresses life .
