" Though clearly influenced by the surrealist masters, I prefer to call my style of painting Cerebralism.

In an age where the only uncharted frontiers lie within our minds, I attempt to reach the viewer on a cerebral level by creating a space where one's spiritual self is free to roam and explore. I enjoy challenging the viewer's perception by manipulating the rules of perspective and shadow, reminding the viewer that life is many-layered and it is important to enjoy the beauty in and around us."

    • " I am enthralled with the splendor of the skies here in South Florida. Born and raised in New York City where one has to struggle to glimpse just a few inches of sky, I am fascinated by the inherent possibilities of color, texture and patterns therein. The enormity of it all, the sky and then the sea - a massive and moving conduit of change.

    I attempt to bring serenity into the hectic lives of others, to draw the weary viewer in for a relaxing interlude and the opportunity to let the mind take you where you think you want to be."
