My paintings reflect a spiritual experience, a moment when a higher level of consciousness takes over the logical translation of what my eye is seeing. Influenced by the realists Edward Hopper and John Singer Sargent, and the photorealist Richard Estes, my paintings capture a quiet solitude amid the frenetic happenings of the big city. Some tell a story while others capture the beauty in the randomness of the ever-changing advertisements and street traffic below. These are fleeting moments when various elements come together to create a harmonious blending of shape, pattern, form, and color.
