PORTRAIT WORK

I've had the pleasure of enjoying a variety of relationships with animals, be it a cat that grew up alongside me, a rescued dog, or a horse that I learned alongside with. Capturing these one of a kind relationships has been one of my favorite practices as an artist, and with each new wrinkly face, glossy coat and mess of whiskers I learn a bit more about cherishing the details of the creatures around us.

Many memories are made inside and outside buildings. The memories of a first home, favorite library, or first apartment door are details that often slip by. Living in New York there are all shapes and sizes of apartments, stores and parks to experience life in, and why should they not be preserved in a painting?
