Paintings.
These works begin with a surface and are interrupted by what remains. Organic fragments, found materials, and aerosol accumulate into fields that hold both presence and absence. The materials do not describe. They persist.
Embedded Organic
Material accumulation and embedded elements held in layered surfaces
Dog Tags
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
Military dog tags pressed into a golden aerosol field scattered with autumn leaves. The most personal object in the catalog, belonging to family service. Gold as honor, not decoration.
Out of the Embers
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
The most materially dense work in the catalog. What survives destruction, made visible.
Fight. Never Fall.
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
Six copper-toned maple leaves preserved mid-fall in aerosol and ash. The leaves neither fall nor stand, they hold.
We. Will. Heal.
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A self-portrait fragmented and reassembled. Medical-device fragments embedded alongside the artist's own torn photograph.
Pure Atmospheric Aerosol
Atmospheric fields formed through accumulation, erosion, and suspended presence
Sunshine Beyond Thunder
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A coin pressed into the aerosol ground. The title locates optimism inside difficulty.
Lost in the Storm.
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
The surface is incised before it cured. The storm is the medium.
Untitled (Surface Study)
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
The only untitled work. What remains unresolved is still alive.
Build. Rebuild.
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
The foundational atmospheric work. Layers that breathe.
The Ancestor
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A bearded face emerges from golden fog, not painted but revealed, as if the aerosol is being lifted rather than applied. The most figurative and most haunting work in the atmospheric series.
Text and Conceptual
Language embedded within material fields, partially obscured and revealed
I Am Resilient
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
Text reversed in mirror image. Rope coils through the field like a nervous system.
Breaking Through
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
Language buried in aerosol, the words fight the surface to be read.
In Between Sorrow and Hope
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A painting about the difficult middle. Neither resolved nor collapsed.
Never. Ever.
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
Two words. Two full stops. Total architecture of refusal.
Don't Follow the Crowd
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A tennis player embedded inside a YouTube thumbnail, "FOLLOW THE CROWD" as caption, "DONT" as response. Two elements in conversation, the second defeating the first.
The Fourth Thursday
16 x 20 inches
Aerosol, mixed media, and embedded materials on canvas
A specific date held as a private fact within a public surface.
Series V
The Chromatic Studies.
Three canvases built from a single question: what does a color know when left to itself? Aerosol accumulated in layers, picture lit, no embedded objects, no text. The most formally pure works in the catalog.
The Chromatic Studies
Chromatic Studies
Two canvases. Each a sustained inquiry into what a single chromatic field contains when given enough time and enough layers to reveal itself.
Chromatic Study I
Chromatic Studies
Gold and silver. Picture light catching the metallic ground from above. The drips are timestamps. Each layer is a day.
Chromatic Study II
Chromatic Studies
Rose and warm grey. The dark drip cascade on the left. The gold passages at lower center. The most interior of the two.
Photography.
Azul
The Lisbon Series
A woman's face rendered entirely in Portuguese azulejo tiles. Identity as mosaic.
Hoje
The Lisbon Series
"Today, do you live or merely survive?" Spray-painted on the most permanent surface in the city.
Before You Enter
The Lisbon Series
A cobalt double door with wrought-iron grilles. The threshold between public and private.
Chiado
The Lisbon Series
Street life streaming past an immovable facade. Movement against permanence.
The Watcher
Sacred Spaces
A stone deity lit from below in darkness. Carved to outlast every witness.
Saint John
Sacred Spaces
A cathedral interior. Architecture as accumulated prayer.
The Cross in Blue
Sacred Spaces
Wrought-iron lattice, the cross form repeating through the negative space.
Roma 04
Sacred Spaces
A Roman fresco, age-worn, still legible. The image that preceded every image that followed.
Leo P.P. XIII
Sacred Spaces
Papal iconography in gold and crimson. Gold here is authority; in the paintings, it is something else.
Altocumulus
Atmospheric
The sky as abstract painting. A single bare branch enters frame at lower right.
Control
Atmospheric
An airport tower in a pre-storm sky. Weather does not take instructions.
Cloud Edge
Atmospheric
A black sky meets a soft horizon of cumulus. The line where heaviness ends and lightness begins. Photographed from above the weather, where the perspective is no longer ground-truth.
Sea Lace
Atmospheric
Sea foam on dark sand, shot from above. The water draws and erases its own pattern in the same second, abstraction and beach at once.
The North Fork.
Photography Series VI · Long Island Sound · 2024
Long Island Sound, its beaches, farms, harbors, and the particular light of a place that still knows what season it is.
The Dock
The North Fork
A wooden dock extends into Long Island Sound under a dramatic cloud sky. Straight, symmetrical, certain. One of the strongest images in the full body of work.
Adirondacks
The North Fork
Empty chairs on a pebble beach as storm clouds build. The scale is enormous and the chairs are empty. Someone was here. Something is coming.
Nookies Diner
The North Fork
A letter-board sign on a shingled wall. Open 8 to 4, 5 to 8. The North Fork runs on its own clock and does not apologize for it.
Scallops R in Season
The North Fork
A hand-lettered sign stacked with a Southold plaque beneath it. The place declares what it has and when. Everything else is secondary.
Left Behind
The North Fork
A weathered garden cart returned to the earth. Moss, iron wheels, the geometry of something built to last outlasting its usefulness. Object biography at its most patient.
Private Beach
The North Fork
Boulders older than the sign that claims them. The rocks have no opinion about the designation. The driftwood neither.
Skull Triptych.
Oro
The Gold Skull. Life painted onto the symbol of death.
Medianoche
The Midnight Skull. Holds the axis between gold's excess and deep blue's withdrawal.
Profundo
The Cobalt Skull. Immersion as revelation rather than threat.
