About Me
I like to sling paint on things & call it art.

Currently accepting commissions for both fine & graphic art. Need art? Then give me a call at (646) 527-2717.

Statement
The vocabulary used to describe modern art is often complicated and full of jargon; either so much is said of so little or little is said of much...although interpretive in the many ways abstract art often is my paintings are nothing more than simple landscapes, loud shirts, basic mathematics, sailor tattoos, and stories told along the way. I use luminous colors, simple shapes, random cartoons, metal leaf and icky gooey texture to convey the essence of a marshy beach, a tall building, a fast car, a broken heart and the x + y of algebra…if you sit back, relax a bit and look hard enough you’ll see nothing more than the map to my house that I've carefully drawn for you. You’re invited to come on by and seek your own conclusions...& it goes like this...
