As an artist born and raised in New York City, I am accustomed to the frenetic sights and sounds that bombard the mind on daily basis. The vibrance that is part of the city has long been a part of myself. It is reflected through my use of bright color and movement in my artwork. The fluidity of watercolor and gouache I find ideal for expressing this movement and vibrance.
My subject matter can often be grotesque, and I exaggerate the emotions of the piece. There is a dark humor and irony hidden for the viewer to find. Things may appear sweet and colorful from afar, but upon closer inspection, you can see that there is more to the story. I take inspiration from the German Expressionists, who used their art to comment on the ugliness that they saw within their societies. I enjoy using art in a similar way; to make a statement about how I perceive the world around me.
