Many of the pieces shown are available for purchase. Please fill out the forum in the CONTACT page for inquires if you are interested in purchasing a piece.

“Where There Is A Will”

“Where There Is A Will” is an 12″x12″ acrylic painting on canvas (unframed) that depicts the Apollo 11 landing and moonwalk on July 20th, 1969. The footprints are depicted in the colors of the American flag, as this piece was created on the 50th anniversary of the landing. This piece depicts the power of collective resolve to create solutions for change. This same spirit, I believe, can lead us forward through the challenges of climate change, pollution, refuge crises, and more. This painting is available for purchase.

“Resolve”

“Resolve” is an 30″x40″ oil painting on gallery wrapped 1.5″ canvas (unframed), depicting the front interior of the Roebling Wire Works building with a single dove flying in the air. It was painted in the wake of the shootings at Art All Night 2018, as a tribute to the city of Trenton and as a commitment to the resolve of the arts community has to help strengthen Trenton into a place that is safe and nurturing for those who live, work, and play there. This is the first painting in my Trenton series. This piece is available for purchase.

“The Glance”

“The Glance” is an 19″x15.75″ watercolor and gouache painting on paper (framed), depicting a random moment at Trenton Social, a popular restaurant and lounge in Trenton. It is the second painting in my Trenton series. This piece is no longer available for purchase and is in private collection.
