NEW YORK - SPRING 2026

Return to my East River self-driven artist residency. Working on a series of oil panels where the skyscrapers become my cliffs and the sky my coves while a slice of river anchors the element of water.

ENTRY - FOTOSOMMER STUTTGTART 2026 - STAATSGALERIE - THEME: DISORDER

Who Knows Were The Time Goes
What happens when moments caught chronologically in the span of a lifetime as photographic memories become non-linear?
Visual memories exist as fragments but what happens when the memories fade and the mind can no longer order them?
Memories like dust floating in space with no beginning, no end, a whirlpool, a vortex, something like trying to desperately hold on to a dream while waking up, ever fleeting.
What if you don’t remember the context, places or people depicted?
Last year I took care and lived with someone suffering from Alzheimers and witnessed a person losing all touch with time and reality. 
Here are decades of fleeting moments from my lifetime, all scattered, as I try to imagine what this disorder looks like inside a persons mind. 
Order and disorder of time and memory coinciding.

OPENING - PEN + BRUSH GALLERY

A culmination of creative energy came together to make for an unforgettable, epic evening.

Patti Hudson, fellow artist and curator of the show, invited her lifelong friends Jesse and Patti Smith, along with Rebecca Foon, for an intimate performance at the opening reception. Their friendship made clear the importance of community and sticking together to support one another.
”People have the power” was a strong message giving us all courage to use our freedom of expression as a vehicle for change, reflection, and purpose, individually and universally.

The show will be on view until September 6, 2025 at Pen + Brush, 29 E 22nd St. New York, NY, 10010

In preparation for this upcoming show I have been busy framing watercolors, printing postcards, and signing oil on panel paintings. Works being shown were completed on an island off the coast of Brittany en plein air in the fall of 2024. This series of work explores transforming figurative elements into abstract temporal compositions, focusing on bodies of water and their tremendous power.

Studio visits at the Brooklyn Navy Yard are available by appointment until July 10th.

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD - NEW YORK CITY

I am currently fortunate to have a studio space at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It is nestled in between the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges in Walkabout Bay in the East River. 

Boats still slip in and out of the docks, as they have for centuries, connecting this industrial complex to the outside world. It is here that I am inspired to reconnect to the city I grew up in after living „overseas“ the last 30 years. There is something familiar about the light and the shapes of the city landscape that I am excited to explore in a new series of work. Just getting started!
