ABOUT THE WORK

I specialize in wall drawings (including interactive pieces), paintings (on canvas, wood, postcards and photomurals), hand-cut mylar, traditional drawings and digital drawings (laptop, smart phone, gif animations and virtual reality). I work quickly with no preconceptions, searching for imagery in the medium, which surprises me both formally and conceptually, with an ear to the metaphorical possibilities in abstracting the human head and figure. I have produced dozens of improvised site-specific wall drawings since my first in 1994. I try to create a unique mural for the exhibition spaces even when I’m showing paintings as well. “Vinyl Mural” was made over a few days the week before the exhibition. It’s a temporary gift and the most recent piece in the gallery. The paintings are from the past few years continuing a theme of “Heads” and “Couples.” The postcard paintings are all from 2018, building on the snowman subject that dates back to 2003.
