The Orange Path
Autumn Light
I have lived in this neighborhood for 45 years, and my life and work have been greatly influenced by its amazing and wonderful parks. I paint landscapes en plein air, many of them in Central Park, Riverside Park, and Straus Park. I paint nature, color, and light and as an artist am so fortunate to have these parks as a constant yet ever-changing source of beauty and inspiration.

After the War
Yearning
I use my art to amplify the stories of displaced and dislocated communities across the globe. These two pieces address themes of war, displacement, and a call for collective healing. Yearning is from an edition of prints commissioned by the YWCA to be awarded to members who had made significant contributions to the struggle against racism and sexism. Yearning was inspired by the book of the same name by bell hooks, who described our yearning for peace and understanding as a shared space through which we could imagine and build a better future together. After the War is based on the biblical passage that inspired Edward Hicks to paint the Peaceable Kingdom: “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb . . . and a little child shall lead them.” In this print, a child reaching for its mirror image becomes a symbol of hope for future generations who are faced with a world torn by violence.

Teotihuacan, Mexico, December 2014
I am interested in creating iconic images with formal compositions and bold lighting. My photography is an extension of my work as a cinematographer and is heavily influenced by filmmakers throughout cinematic history. Teotihuacan is an homage to the work of the Mexican cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa. I digitally manipulated my original photograph to create the extreme contrast and dark skies characteristic of Figueroa’s work. Tourists climbing the steps of an Aztec temple, appearing almost as pilgrims, were the perfect subject for the project. Dawn was inspired by the work of Freddie Young on Lawrence of Arabia and by Douglas Slocombe’s on Raiders of the Lost Ark. The scale of the image and time of day belong to Young. The color and fog belong to Slocombe and VFX artists on Raiders. The image is exactly as recorded in camera, with no digital manipulation whatsoever.

Early Morning Walk with Dog
Sunset on 106th Street
On my way home from a walk in Central Park, the evening sky grabbed my attention, and then the striking perspective of West 106th Street with the cars and windows glowing. All the elements came together to draw the eye into the scene and give the viewer a chance to experience the sense of balance and insight I felt at the time. On West 107th Street, I had often photographed the interesting shadows cast, at certain times of year, by the early morning sun shining down the block. But this time the shadow was just the right length, the man’s red shirt provided the accent I wanted, the yellow taxi waiting in the shadow set the context, and the dog and leash added interest and a link to something very familiar.

Fiery Sunrise, Upper West Side NYC
After graduating from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, I continued my photography studies at the School of Visual Arts and studied painting at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of Design. My work is influenced by my love of urban nature and the dynamics of change. Whether I am observing the magnificent trees and verdant landscapes of Central Park or studying the play of light on the buildings of this city, I find shapes, colors, patterns, and textures that intrigue me and inspire my creativity.

Our Proud Lady
Following my graduation in 2006 from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, I served in the U.S. Coast Guard for seven years and have worked as an EMT, a volunteer firefighter, and a mariner. I draw inspiration from the streets of this tremendous city and, in this work, from her most graceful and impactful of landmarks. As UNESCO describes the Statue of Liberty in its designation as a World Heritage Site, it is “ a highly potent symbol – inspiring contemplation, debate, and protest – of ideals such as liberty, peace, human rights, abolition of slavery, democracy, and opportunity.”

Bridge in Riverside Park
Saint Joan of Arc
I have lived in the neighborhood since 1974 and found inspiration for both of these photographs nearby. At Riverside Drive and 93rd Street stands the Saint Joan of Arc monument, the creation of a female sculptor, Anna Vaughn Hyatt. I was struck, when taking pictures during a heavy snowstorm, by the way the statue seemed to be fighting the tangled branches and the snow—much as the saint herself was enmeshed in the politics of her time. Accused of witchcraft and the “crime” of wearing male clothing, she ultimately was executed. I took the other photograph during one of my first walks after the pandemic began to loosen its hold on the city, when I headed for Riverside Park and the Hudson River. Passing beneath the highway bridge, I looked up and saw an interlocking pattern of light and shadows. The tapestry of light led out of the pandemic, through the metal grates of the bridge, to the blue sky shining through.

I moved to France in 2002 to become a full-time artist, sculpting figures in clay and studying oil painting. The following year I began my landscape-painting career in earnest. Over the decades that painting has brought me joy, my work has progressed from realism to abstraction.
