My paintings usually consist of the following:

geometrical storefronts with obscure but beautiful details;

incidental configurations (an arrangement of cartons and crates, a worn old awning);

serene courtyards you might catch a glimpse of as you walk along the street;

rundown backyards or discarded objects whose intrinsic forms are brought to life by the play of sunlight and are compelling because they are insignificant and sure to go unnoticed;

and the Gowanus Canal which runs through a dilapidated, old industrial area of South Brooklyn, glittering with the sunlight shining on it, like an image from some romantic story book.
