What I love about water – ocean, lake, river, waterfall – is how it is always changing. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même. Change is inevitable. The challenge is how to capture the depth, the movement. In my abstract, acrylic paintings, water sometimes looks like water, but it also sometimes looks like space or sky. Honestly, it’s not something I always control. Some paintings just happen.

Often lately, I paint the world I want to live in: quiet, peaceful, restful. Living in New York City and immersed in our political, social and environmental turmoil, I crave a place that will quietly envelop me and bring me peace.
