I use color and paint to describe relationships between people, and people to their environment, particularly life in the city. I am fascinated by personal narratives and dramas juxtaposed against the background of the pulsating cityscape. Inner and outer dialogues between the figures in my expressionistic paintings are revealed through layers of transparent paint.

In my recent Vendors of Newkirk series local shopkeepers in my neighborhood of Midwood are combined with elements of storefront, signs, map of country of origin of the subject, and borders reflecting the items sold in that particular store. All are woven together in a tapestry-like format. The cultures of the immigrants living in the area are embedded in the painted storefronts.
