BTM Mural in Progress

Bronx Terminal Market

The Bronx Museum Community Mural at Bronx Terminal Market

The mural is made up of 16 5'x10' panels, arranged into four images. Each image presents a location in the Bronx, significant for its visual interest, whether natural or constructed. I photographed each location and developed specific color palettes based on a conversation between local color and placement within the mural configuration. I had to take perspective of the viewer into consideration as most visitors will see the mural from below.  This is the largest painting I have completed!

Ryman Arts Alumni Exhibition

I have a few paintings in this show. I hope to see you at the reception on Saturday, November 21st! 

Over the past 25 years, Ryman Arts has engaged over 6,000 Southern California teens in our core program and provided outreach activities to more than 18,000 inner city students. Almost all graduates go on to college, many alumni work in the creative industries, and all are poised for personal success.

This vibrant community of culturally diverse teens comes from more than 150 zip codes across six counties in Southern California. More than 80 percent live in low-income neighborhoods where schools provide little access to art and dropout rates are high.

Collaboration with Gilded Age NYC

A few of my paintings are included in Gilded Age's spring show at their South Street Seaport store. Racked NY  wrote that "Gilded Age chose that neighborhood because they wanted to be part of the revitalization after Hurricane Sandy. The store will also feature three to four New York artists each month, serving as a platform to jumpstart their careers. This initiative is in partnership with Chashama, a non-profit that supports the city's art community."

Leaving Wassaic

April has been a great month! It's sad to say goodbye to this studio, the town and the people I met here. I managed to fill this wall with different types and sizes drawings and I will definitely continue making the small gouache and large graphite drawings. Now back to Brooklyn, painting and the imagery I can't stop reproducing.
