Even though the subjects are all on the right side of these works there is a balance created with spareness on the left.

These paintings are from various beaches I have been to this past year. I wanted to give the viewer a very close and contained feeling.

These paintings are intimate portraits of people and birds who resemble them. Looking to art history for inspiration, Botticelli's painting of Guiliano de Medici and a bird certainly sparked my imagination to create this series.

Cooking,buying, and selling produce as well as displays of food are the thread that binds this group of work together.

These paintings are about how life repeats itself.Years go by styles change but we can still see one another reflected in the past.

This series started with simple gestures. I incorporated the trees as a background to create a connection to nature and its complex forms.

I wanted to create the feeling of past and present in these paintings.They are portraits of my relatives standing on our family stoop in Corona Queens.The larger portraits in front are related to the standing figures.

What is so simple as a person sitting at a table,on a bench or anywhere?I wanted to capture this simple everyday activity in this series of paintings.
