Life Studies

Abstract

Alongside the expressive puppet portraits were biological studies, headless animals, layered abstractions, and other experiments. These works prepared me for the freedom and acceptance I would find in Miami.

Characters

ode to grover

The work that broke the ice after moving to Brooklyn was sold on the corner of Wooster and Prince in SOHO in the early 2000s. Works of found wood, canvas, panel, paper, oil & acrylic, pencil, collage, and whatever I had inherited from my father’s studio. Nothing was sold for more than one hundred dollars and the majority for less than fifty. The images here represent a fraction of what I produced.
