art + photography

In addition to graphic design for advertising and marketing, I am a fine artist working primarily with photography, plus mixed media and glass sculpture.

With a degree in Studio Art from New York University (with a strong foundation in liberal arts, art history and criticism), my work is primarily in the realms of landscapes, seascapes, urban, travel, industrial. I like to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to generate curiosity through abstraction, unusual perspectives, and exploration.

You can also use the contact form to reach me if you’re interested in seeing additional work, purchasing original pieces, or commissioning prints from other sources. For example, I use Whitewall.com to order gallery-quality direct prints on wood and metal or acrylic-mounted prints.
