About

Growing up in New York City, a place where noise, movement, and many colors were part of the daily vocabulary, my earliest photographic influence came from somewhere far quieter: the rich black & white landscapes of Ansel Adams. His images opened a door to places I wished to visit.

Years later I leaned toward the raw and immediacy found in the work of Daido Moriyama — the urban compositions, the blur, and adapting a tension grew with my visit to Marina Abramović’s work at MOMA. These influences tailored my visual language – reflected in previous collections such as Occupy and They Will Never Kill Us All, examine the friction between people, and yet their need for each other to gain purpose. The images in the Andalucía collection, unlike previous collections, is about people and long held traditions, it is vital in their modern day practices, and Silencio and Toy are part of our social fabric.

My photographs were exhibited in the U.S. and Europe, including the Pollux Awards in Barcelona, the Muroff‑Kotler Visual Arts Gallery NY, BAU Gallery NY, the Miami Photo Salon Festival, the Grand Prix de Découverte in Paris, the Garrison Art Center NY, and the Barrett Art Center NY. Jurors have included Stephen Shore, Harvey Stein, and curators from major institutions.
