TITLE: Urban Abstract

My work seeks to spotlight overlooked urban buildings to showcase details of these edifices. I hope to show dynamic movement and a sense of shifting light in the sights and scenes of my world, dramatically expressed through sharp architectural forms, contrasting dark and light, as I offer each locale a life of its own. Offering a close, almost confrontational view, my work endeavors to vividly envelope the senses, inviting the viewer to re-think the images of the world as my sense sees it, encouraging viewer to enter this environment and experience the my world for themselves.

I was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1965. I have no formal  education in art, but I did study to become a chef. I have been an active photographer throughout the last decade, but only began exhibiting in 2012.  Because I am self taught, I am never afraid to try different  techniques. My photography has been influenced first by the works of Eugene Edget, and later by Man-Ray. Since deliberately moving toward photography as fine art, I have been experimenting more with architectural abstracts and nude studies.
My work has appeared in numerous group and solo exhibitions around the world, predominately in New York City and Europe.
