"ANA" 2022, 36"x36" Acrylic and Acrylic Spray Enamel on Canvas$4500 AvailableOn a humid night in September 1985, the rising avante-feminist artist Ana Mendieta, famously afraid of heights, fell 33 floors from the window of her Mercer street apartment, shared with her husband, artist Carl Andre. The two had been fighting in the early morning and Ana’s best friend reported that she intended to demand a divorce. Andre was arrested and charged with murder. It was apparent in the very first hours that this would be no ordinary investigation. Police, for instance, forgot to fingerprint the crime scene. In addition, they allowed Andre’s attorney unsupervised access, the following morning. Given the defendants power and prominence in the insular art world, one by one witnesses changed or recanted testimony and Andre was ultimately acquitted. After the trial, the DA said he had only seen such stonewalling in organized crime cases. What would have come of Ana’s life and career had she been allowed to pursue it? We will never know. We lost a star, and a role model. She pushed the bounds of the feminine eye in art and directly influences my work. This piece honors her and every thing she accomplished in her short life.
"No Vacancy" 2021, Acrylic on cavas, 24"x36"$3200 - AvailableIn life we wear all types of masks. Some art fun, temporary. We try them on for a night or two and hang them up again. Others serve deeper purposes and remain, becoming calcified. Like so many other burdens in life; grief, obligation, expectations, loss, we bear the weight of our masks dutifully. Underneath, often decay. However, sometimes, like the discolored grass growing under a stone, my flirts of color, honesty and acceptance sometime grow underneath, seeping, seeking the sun.
"I am strong (I am equal)" 2020, Mixed media mural in NYC, 14'x14'In New York City’s East Village neighborhood, this piece was completed by invitation from @Eastvillagewalls, a curated mural and street art project. The painting speaks to stoic, if sometimes stilted and clumsy, resiliency.
"The Boxer #1" 2019, Acrylic spray enamel on canvas, 24"x32"NOT AVAILABLEResilience and stoicism is a them that weaves it’s thread through most of my work. Why do we, as a society, give such weight and respect to fighting the lost cause, to getting up no matter how many times we are knocked down.. or even if it is assured that we we will be? Is there inherent value and honor in repeated accepting pain and defeat, or is it simply pointless? Does society value the lost cause because so much of our live are necessarily spent in pursuit of them?Model: Nicole Sheehan
"Egg" 2020, Acrylic and Acrylic spray enamel on canvas, 36"x 48"$4000A nascent flirtation with abstraction, Egg is about the process of forming, being, changing, and rewriting. Often imprecise and sometimes ugly, the figure erases, turns inward, emerges deformed but with new light and vibrancy.

"My Actions Don't Define" 2020, Acrylic spray enamel on Aluminum 8"x10", Street InstallationNOT AVAILABLESome of my most vibrant work engages the public through street installation. Are we the sum of our actions? People often say so. Experiences are the results of actions, working at a profession, raising children, working out… all actions… so why are we so quick to dismiss those actions that don’t fit into a plan or make us feel comfortable? Which ideal do you accept? Do your actions define you or do they not? Perhaps only curated actions count?

"Flower Girl" 2019, Acrylic and Spray Enamel on Brick, approx. 36"x 72"Flower girl makes many appearances, as a stand in for simplified, idolized feelings, as a foil to, or unaware of, a much more complicated reality. Here she rings a bell with flowers for the one she loves in a forgotten alley, surrounded by garbage and discarded syringes. The door she approaches has been bricked over.

"I Don't Know" 2021, Acrylic spray enamel on aluminum, Street installationNot AvailableAnimals provide a lens of innocence, of boiled down simplicity, from which to process and view complex human problems. The act of knowing, in our society, holds a very important place. We award degrees based on it, seek it through inquisition and chide those who don’t posses it. We are scared not to know and will fabricate complex alternate realities in place of the simple, kind act of saying, “I don’t know”
"Light Flurries (preoccupation)" 2020, Acrylic and acrylic spray enamel on aluminum, 12"x24", street installationSnow flurries are often thought of in found remembrance, as if from a Hallmark movie. Their reality often brings anger of discomfort or inconvenience or fear of unknown trouble. I often think of our thoughts as flurries, troublesome and meddlesome to the over-stressed, creatively exhilarating to the few not bothered by unnecessary things
