In the Studio
My studio is, at times, my place of refuge where I soar on the wings of angels, and at other times it is an alembic in which I sweat out the essence of the divine – creativity itself – channeled from the dark roiling depths of the soul. Oil painting is an alchemical process wherein the substance and the painter change each other.

My Story, Briefly
Art has been in my blood all my life. I was a Museum of Modern Art “stroller baby.” An early proponent of neo-expressionism, I painted anger and rage and violence, loneliness, isolation and burning, screaming sexual desire. During this period I began exhibiting work in Frank Marino’s Soho gallery. I also showed with Nico Smith in the East Village. Cookie Mueller featured me in one of her Details Magazine articles.
Then, in 1988, I stopped painting. My demons demanded I search for peace; I removed myself from the excesses of 80s nightlife and began a journey, through years of prayer and meditation, that led me, renewed, back to the canvas.
In 1998 I started painting again: exuberant landscapes, Eden, the Garden before Man. I started selling direct to individual collectors and corporations, including Pfizer Corporation and Kirkland & Ellis.
My studio is near the Fulton Ferry waterfront in Brooklyn. Having searched for God so many places I finally found her. She walks into my studio and takes off her clothes. My paintings celebrate Her. Thank God.
