Most of my work centers on cultural identity. The Mother/Daughter Project was an oral history and silkscreen art project, commissioned by the Museum of Chinese in America in 1989, to document the stories of Asian immigrant women and their children in New York. English-speaking daughters often became their parents' surrogates, translating everything from leases to food labels and helping to negotiate their difficult arrival in a new land. "East Fifth Street" is based on a tenement on the Lower East Side that was once home to the Chu family, owners of the first Asian American diner in Chinatown. "Laundryman's Daughter" is inspired by dozens of interviews with Chinese families who ran hand laundries in New York. I printed this seven-color silkscreen in an edition of 25, one of which is in the Library of Congress Pennell Print Collection.

I have lived in the Manhattan Valley/Bloomingdale neighborhood since 1984, documenting it with my camera for all those years. My photography has primarily focused on birds in Central Park and Riverside Park, but also sunsets, sunrises, the moon, water towers, and Straus Park, which sits below my apartment windows.
I was fortunate to capture "Snowstorm" from my window. It represents a brief moment in time: it is snowing heavily, so the car tracks and footprints will soon be covered up; the pedestrians and the cars will be gone. I hope you like it!

A graduate of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, I continued my study of photography at the School of Visual Arts and of painting at the Art Students League of New York and the National Academy of Design. My work is influenced by my urban habitat, my love of natural light, and the dynamics of change. "Tom's Restaurant," "Hudson Nocturne," and "112th and Broadway" were painted on New York's Upper West Side, where I live, in 2022-23. I painted "Sawtooth Ridge" several years ago, inspired by climbing peaks in the Tetons.

"Gargoyle and Full Moon" was taken one autumn evening off Fifth Avenue, near the Metropolitan Museum. The image and its muted colors suggested a spooky prelude to Halloween.
I took the photo of Riverside Park's Eleanor Roosevelt statue during a blizzard. Her expression—that of a strong woman able to endure any storm, literally—inspired both the photograph and its dedication to the memory of my mother, Connie R. Portanova.
The other photograph was taken 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 have lived on 107th Street since 1981, when I was attending graduate school at Columbia University, where I eventually earned a PhD in Byzantine and Hellenistic History. I have taught at New York University since 1984.

I love photographing people on location, particularly on the streets of New York. I have focused my camera on musicians since the late 1970s, when I began documenting the club scenes at CBGB and Max’s Kansas City.
My photographs have been used for album covers, posters, and promotional material; they have been exhibited widely in galleries and museums and are in the permanent collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Seattle's Experience Music Project, and the Grammy Museum.

I practiced as an architect from 1977 to 2019 and have studied painting at the Art Students League since 1982. In my artwork I like to tell an abstract, uplifting story about the human condition. My visual experiments often distort or exaggerate lines, shapes, and colors.
"View from a Silver Moon" depicts the potential for chaos—and New Yorkers' indifference to it—at a typical intersection. A woman rides on an electric scooter with her little boy hanging from the handlebars; a father and daughter hail a cab; and a woman walks her dog. All seem unaware of the potential danger in the background, where an ambitious cabbie swerves into the crosswalk to pick up the fare. "Celebration," showing a couple dancing on a roof, is equally focused on color, but its narrative is more open-ended. Are they celebrating the possible end of the pandemic or just wild about dancing ? A bright night under a dark sky is cause enough for celebration.

After the isolation of the pandemic and seeing how many businesses have closed permanently, I appreciate the neighborhood and its unique and quirky aspects even more. I have been drawing locally owned shops from my photos. I like the way my iPhone camera distorts the image on the edges, and how store windows provide another distortion, the reflections making it hard to see inside. To draw is to look closely. Using charcoal, pastels, and pencils, I manage the smudges and marks as if using paint, pushing the blacks and whites around the paper. I use a watercolor brush to blur and soften the marks, and erasers to bring the paper's white back to the surface. The process of drawing is about making marks and erasing, marking and erasing . . . over and over.

I am a professional actor and a strictly amateur painter, with a studio in East Quogue. Although raised in a family of artists, including my uncle the well-known Israeli painter Nachum Gutman, I never painted as a youngster. In fact, I have come only lately to painting, starting from "zero" about six years ago by taking classes at the Art Students League. My works were all created from still-life setups and models in classes there.

I strive to put my heart and my mind into all my work. Rothko, Gauguin, de Kooning, Monet, Courbet, Manet, Wolf Kahn, Tom Thomson, Edgar Payne, William Wendt, George Inness, and Hans Hoffmann are some of my artist-heroes.
I began my formal training with classes in large-format ink on paper sketches and color theory at Cooper Union and began painting with acrylics and studying ceramics in the 1990s. In 2002 I moved to France to continue my studies in sculpture, painting, and monotype printing. Two years later I returned to New York, where I have studied and exhibited at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Art.

I always look for the unexpected moment—sometimes blissful, sometimes tragic—when walking around the city. Every now and then I get lucky and press the shutter in time. A filmmaker, actor, director, screenwriter, and playwright, I have lived in the neighborhood with my wife and two daughters for many years.
