I am an internationally recognized artist who, through my work, seeks to utilize various harmonies and ideas to visually engage the audience. I also use my art as an opportunity to experiment with the range of possibilities allowed through my choice of materials, spray paint and hand cut stencils.
My work captures spaces of partial or full illumination between the perfect shadows on all sides of a person or an object. The artwork conveys the real beauty of the subject. The viewer is able to appreciate the simplicity, splendor and exquisiteness of my work and the subject. The work is raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest.
I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.

Reminds me of a Curtis photograph. Beautiful!
Excellent artwork!
Stunning and powerful. There is a quiet nobility in this piece…and a touch of sadness.
R- went to a studio for fun night of painting with friends and was welcomed in surprisingly by a wall of your work on exhibit. Was pumped and excited to announce – “I follow this guy, he is AWESOME.”
Who was it if you dont mind? 🙂
I was at a BYOB Painting class at Picasso’s Corner in Elmsford NY. Great night out with friends. We generated a lot of laughs at our paintings but the wall of your work had everyone interested. I am passing on info about you to that group later today if I meet up at the pub for a going-away party. If I don’t go – I will send an email as many people very really into your stuff.
Wow, I was just in Elmsford yesterday!! Perhaps one day soon we can all link up and paint 🙂
Beautiful!
wow, that is amazing!
I really do like your work. I’m on the east coast too, i’m guessing I’m a little farther north though 🙂
Can’t wait to see more of your work!
That’s Wonderful-
Adore this.
I cut off my comment before I hit send.
I adore this, it’s defined and abstract, and true. It could be my great grandfather.
Fabulous work as always! Bravo! x
Ok so he is my new equal fave alongside Ms Ball and her timeless-gorgeous face. For some reason I love how you’ve worked the feather’s…it doesn’t distract from the rest of him and yet I can’t stop starring at them?! They are so ethereal. This painting makes me feel like I want to have a conversation with him…love it when that happens!
Fabulous!
Wow that is powerful!
Cool! 😀
I love the emotion the color, and impression leaves. Strong work.
Like a fading echo originating in the distant past, this shaded image carries the haunted ghost of a once proud voice in to our modern world.
Awesome.
