Art Major

Central Park art vendor whose picture I captured in November 2019 during the NYC Marathon.

You clutch your phone and coffee. You like what you do. You get be outdoors and prefer the sunny side of life, but you glare when your picture is taken.

I'm a painter, printmaker and draftsman based in the United States. My works have been widely exhibited nationally and collected internationally. I am also founder of the new ShadowBoxX Gallery in the growing arts district in Waukegan, IL - a northern suburb of Chicago.

My work is inspired by nature, urban spaces, inner journeys, absurdities, and working people. I'm also influenced by the old masters, the innovation of contemporary artists, the realms of mythology and psychology. Music, writing, mathematics, and technology are interwoven in my artistic journey.

I channel subconscious imagery from within through my artwork. I hope my works resonate with viewers, motivating them towards greater understanding, compassion and empathy.

I was formally trained in the sight/size realism technique, but I thrive on experimentation, often building my own tools to help me create my ideas.
