Welcome

I am an artist living and working in New York City.

I am currently embarking upon a series of works that use my life as a raw material. I meticulously journal and document my adventures, neuroses, flaws, successes, failures and triumphs. I take that documentation and turn it into artwork by overlapping or conceptualizing the original idea. The first piece I made using this technique was a sculpture entitled 'One Year'. Every morning for one year I would pick a nail polish color that best fit my mood from the previous day, and use it to paint a rectangle onto a piece of wax paper. I painted each rectangle on top of the previous one until the painted layers had their own weight. After one year I cut into the piece and rearranged it so the individual layers could be seen. By doing this, I am inviting the viewer to see the whole picture as a single entity made up of compulsive details. At first sight, 'One Year' appears as a fluid, indefinite shape and a blur of color. A closer look reveals that this color is the result of many painstaking moments. Small, particular instances, each uniquely felt, each specifically colored, each so important until you put them all together and realize that they are each just a tiny part of a larger picture.

I am currently working as a scenic painter at a major prop rental warehouse. A catalogue of my scenic work can also be found on the site.
