Autumn, Central Park Ravine
Autumn, Central Park Ravine
I have lived on the Upper West Side for thirty years and study at the Art Students League of New York. New Yorkers are fighters, rebuilders, and dreamers. Our strength comes from one another, our guts, and our desire to keep aspiring. But we also stop for inspiration from our parks, our architecture, and the constant flow of people. It is in this spirit that I paint. This abstraction was inspired by Central Park. Please spend time with it to let your imagination rebuild your dreams and engage with the vitality it represents.

Jessica's Daydream
Jessica's Daydream
I relish my Upper West Side neighborhood, my neighbors, and my community. The Upper West Side is filled with artists and artistic souls, musicians, freethinkers, families, people from all backgrounds, people who thrive on connection. Such neighbors have inspired works I've painted in my home of more than forty years. There, in my studio, I create figurative oils, watercolors, drawings, and prints with a contemporary twist. In Jessica's Daydream, my next-door neighbor sits in a familiar adolescent slouch on a couch that belonged to my Great-aunt Betty: a modern child against old-fashioned furnishings, her calm face concealing a preteen restlessness. Seen beyond the windows are the windows of more neighbors.

Leaving the Dayshift during Covid
Leaving the Dayshift during Covid
As a New Yorker who has spent twenty-seven years in medical education, I heard from many former students throughout the last two difficult years. Newly minted and experienced doctors alike felt smothered by the sheer physical and emotional exhaustion of witnessing unrelenting despair and death day after day. Yet our doctors and nurses hung in and saved lives whenever possible. This work was my visceral response to the pandemic.

Snow in Manhattan
Snow in Manhattan
I was born in Japan but live in New York. There is no place like it, with its dynamic energy, drama, and hope. A longtime porcelain painter, I began to focus on watercolor in 2014 . It offers so many possibilities as the water and pigments make their mark on paper. Buildings, bridges, tunnels, and the subway are the inspiration for much of my work. This is the view from my window on 148th Street on a snowy day.

Sky with Sunset II and Crescent Moon
Sky with Sunset II
I painted these sunsets gazing from a friend's window on Riverside Drive. My paintings and drawings are observation-based, combining skill of hand with acuity of vision, both guided by intellect. I am honored to follow the classical tradition, attempting to create works rich with meaning and beautiful details that continually reward the contemplative viewer. I paint classical and realistic still lifes, portraits, landscapes, nudes, trompe l’oeils, interiors, religious narratives, and murals and have produced numerous commissioned works.

Riverside Park at Night, 2019
Riverside Drive, Fall 2007
These images are recognizably views of Riverside Park—“my park,” as I often refer to it, because I have visited it every morning and many evenings for decades. It's where I experience peace and quiet and feel as close to the country and nature as is possible in the city. Most of my park photos, however, focus on aspects of nature without explicitly identifying the subject. I take my photos with digital cameras and occasionally edit them slightly.

Photography has always been part of my artistic process, often serving as the catalyst for a series of paintings, drawings, or collages. I am attracted by scenes and objects that are hidden in plain sight: ignored or underappreciated. This scene is a fleeting New York moment captured and preserved. The setting also has an abstract element I find powerful.

The click of the shutter is the beginning of a visual journey. Subtle manipulation in the film or digital darkroom, camera and film choices, hand-coloring black-and-white photographs, and using alternative processes are all tools I use to create art. The first photograph is an abstract interpretation of the city's never-ending construction. The second captures a kinetic moment of street performance, which I printed on fabric to mirror its energy. I photographed it with a Lomography lens on a digital camera, which gives it a soft, funky look and mimics the effect of a Holga camera.

View from My Window, 107th and Broadway
View from My Window, 107th and Broadway
In my collages -- which I consider a kind of "sketching" with paper -- I seek to capture the city's light, the texture of its buildings, and the feel of its streets. I use found materials -- newspaper, musical scores, old letters, paper towels, candy wrappers, old dictionaries, maps, food packaging, and lots more -- and often color them before cutting or tearing them to assemble my pieces. The view from my apartment focuses on forms and light--the physical setting more than the people and cars that are always rushing through it. The other collage, done from photographs, captures the light at sunrise, looking west from Central Park at about 102nd Street. Layering the papers instead of creating outlines between pieces made it easier to show the reflected light between the branches and create the thicket of trees.

Overlooking Amsterdam, Spring
Winter from My Window
Although I dabble in varied subject matter, I love landscape, including the urban scenes that surround me and personal, familiar spaces. Life being what it is these days, I have had more time to stare out my window and admire the changing scene. I finally decided to do something positive and paint it in various seasons. In spring and summer I love having flowering plants on the sill. In winter I like the contrast of snow and smoke against the old buildings and gray weather.

Lion Fountain
Growing up on the Upper West Side, I passed by this fountain on 89th and Broadway every day on my way to school. I loved watching the water flow from the mouth into the little pool below. I was drawn to the power of the mane; the sculptural quality was impressive to me even as a kid. I've tried to capture the lion's essence in this drawing.

Riverside, Gold
I began taking painting classes in 2017 to complement my work of many years as an art historian specializing in nineteenth-century American landscape painting. I quickly discovered I enjoyed painting for its own sake. While I have created still lifes and portraits, I am most drawn to landscape. I am interested in emphasizing mass and achieving bold yet subtle designs based on close observation. This is one in a series of views of Riverside Park, which has provided solace, beauty, and freedom during a time of seclusion. I have tried to express those feelings in my paintings.

Autumn Couple, Central Park
Autumn Couple, Central Park
Living in New York is extremely stressful! Everybody walks fast and talks fast and has little patience for slow movers or meanderers. The place I find refuge from all that anxiety and frustration is Central Park. On any given day in any season, people stroll, ride bikes, picnic, and enjoy the beauty of this spectacular park. People from all over the world come to visit, and New Yorkers themselves are at peace here. Central Park is my sanctuary.
