In September of 2023 I celebrated my 10th year in New York. Moving here had been a childhood dream, but I didn’t manage to fulfill it until late middle-age. It’s been an adventure to say the least, of which I plan to write more in this blog. The anniversary also coincided with the building of my last website which had long outlived its usefulness. This new version is mobile friendly and much easier to navigate. And it has a blog that you’re reading right now. I look forward to populating it with writing about art and other matters that I’ve done over the years as well as glimpses into what I’m working on at the moment.
A note about viewing art online The ability to share one’s work around the world in an instant might be the greatest advancement for artists since the collapsable tube. Yet nothing can substitute seeing the work in person. Your impression of it depends on the size of your screen, its color balance and several other factors that will render the work differently for each person. Add to that the fact that viewing art via light waves hitting, then reflecting off a surface as we were meant to view the world, is a very different experience from the RGB light emitting from our screens.
You are most welcome to come see the work in person at my studio. Please drop me a line at the contact link if you’d care to schedule an appointment.
Thanks for visiting!
