A Biennale Experience Amid Political Turmoil
May 2022I was accepted into my first biennale, and I was very excited. I was working on the pieces that would be displayed in a citywide art event that was about valuing women and finding peace. 8 collages and 3 new video pieces. I never imagined that I would ever show my work in Israel and the inclusion of my pieces felt like a great honor.The video work is completely new -stemming from ideas…

The Immersive Fair
The future is upon us with Art fairs. We don’t have to travel, or dress up, or print or frame anything. We can just sit on our sofa in our sweatpants and “walk” down a row of booths at a fair. (Which has become my new favorite way to attend anything recently). Two of my Impossible Line photographs will be featured in the Vellum Projects booth at Scope this week. Click to see the booth

The Impossible Line
This summer marked the 1 year anniversary of my father’s death. More than 10 years ago I started a photography series in which I titled, The Impossible Line. This series of photographs were inspired by my father’s life as a sailor and are all studies of where the sky and water meet around the world. The title, Impossible Line is a reference to the horizon line that can never be physically reached.

Paper Work
This Fall I had an opportunity to show both my Neil Armstrong pieces at the Mansion at Strathmore near Washington D.C. in an exhibit titled, Paper Works: The Art of Paper in the months September and October 2020.
The pieces were across from each other in the room and when I finally saw them hung I was able to capture the image below. Something I love about working with mirrors is finding new…

Amnh under guard
American Museum of Natural History guarded by the police in fear of looters, (Never did it ever cross my mind that I would write that). Taken June 10, 2020 -13 days before they decided to remove the statue that stood at the entrance for 80yrs. I realize now that we have ignored and accepted so much because we never thought it could or would change. Excited to see what our world is going to look…

Light of Chinatown
I truly love the light in Chinatown. The mix of reflections and colors are so curiously captivating. Below are photographs of both directions of Mott Street in Chinatown on Tuesday Night at 8:30pm on 6.9.2020 and a photo of one of my favorite places the American Society of Buddhist Studies on Centre Street.

All of the Lights
All of the Lights
What was incredible about taking photos at night during the COVID lockdown was simply- the light. The stark contrast between the vibrant saturated color and simple shapes against the darkness was extremely alluring. Even though we know why its possible for the night to become so black and why no one is around, you cant deny the stirring mysterious beauty.

COVID Nights 2: Small Town Living
COVID Nights 2: Small Town Living
I’ve always been fascinated with abandoned places. Ruins, theme parks, prisons, ghost towns. I’m always curious what happened there. How did the story end? These photos are of the main streets in the towns in the Hamptons. Usually flooded with people on Memorial Day weekend. This last Memorial Day weekend they were almost totally empty. Eerily deserted and longing to be used.

The Truth About Times Square
The Truth About Times Square
I hate what Times Square has become. The Disneyfication of these once gritty streets has been amazing. However, I find them even more depressing now, then when they were covered by pimps, hookers, drug dealers and the homeless. At least then it had a little personality. Now seeing it devoid of the fantasy or fanfare you can see how soulless it really is. Times Square, Saturday Night, 9:30pm,…

Saturday night in Soho
It’s been a long time since I have seen the streets of Soho almost completely empty. It’s even more alluring seeing the architecture and the cobble stone streets this way.

COVID City Nights 1
These photos were taken Saturday 5.9.2020 between 8pm and 10pm. —————————————— Years ago, when there was less traffic and people and you could wander down the middle of most major streets in the early morning hours-you felt like the city belonged to you. I have always remembered those New York moments fondly. Driving around New York now it feels that way until a certain point when you realize…

Art On Paper
Exhibited for the first time at Art On Paper Art Fair in New York which started March 5, 2020 at Pier 36 in booth E16 with Vellum Offline.
Thought of the large piece for the fair almost a year ago. Titled Neil Armstrong, I started collecting everything I could to make it as successful as possible- learning about Armstrong’s life, finding old images of the Gemini 8 and Apollo 11 missions,…
