Painting is the way I choose to communicate. I approach my work as  documentation of my observations of people moving through life.  My goal  is to stimulate conversation and find commonalities. I use a welcoming  palette of colors and a variety of styles and mediums. My  landscapes,  bridges and paths painted en plein air evoke openness. I also Portraits,  still-lifes and interiors. Some of my paintings start as linear  drawings of people or objects on site. The sketches are enlarged in  proportion to the original drawing, then finished in watercolor in my  studio in Long Island City, Queens. I work in watercolor, oil, acrylic  and pastel exploring each medium. I incorporate video as an art form to  express my thoughts, share inspirations and present my work.
